Compare Massachusetts RatesMassachusetts minimum coverage: 25/50/30
Massachusetts requires liability coverage on every registered vehicle. The legal floor:
- $25,000 bodily injury per person
- $50,000 bodily injury per accident
- $30,000 property damage per accident
Minimum coverage keeps you legal, not necessarily solvent: the average new truck costs more than $30,000 to replace, so one at-fault accident can outrun your property-damage limit.
Increased from 20/40/5 effective July 1, 2025; no-fault state, $8k PIP and UM required.
Minimums cross-checked against Insurance Information Institute and state DOI sources, July 2026; see our methodology. Rules change; verify current minimums with your state's Department of Insurance.
