Compare Missouri RatesMissouri minimum coverage: 25/50/25
Missouri requires liability coverage on every registered vehicle. The legal floor:
- $25,000 bodily injury per person
- $50,000 bodily injury per accident
- $25,000 property damage per accident
Minimum coverage keeps you legal, not necessarily solvent: the average new truck costs more than $25,000 to replace, so one at-fault accident can outrun your property-damage limit.
UM coverage also required.
