Minimum Coverage Requirements in Utah

Utah operates under a no-fault system, requiring all drivers to carry Personal Injury Protection (PIP) in addition to liability coverage.

Liability Insurance

Covers injuries and property damage you cause to others in an at-fault accident. Senior drivers with retirement assets or home equity should consider higher limits such as 100/300/100 to protect against lawsuits that could reach savings or property.

Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Required by Utah law under the state's no-fault system, PIP pays your own medical bills, lost wages, and related expenses after an accident regardless of who caused it.

Uninsured Motorist Coverage

Utah requires insurers to offer uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage at the same limits as your liability policy, and you must sign a waiver to decline it. Given that approximately 1 in 10 Utah drivers carries no insurance, this coverage protects you if you're hit by an uninsured driver or one who carries only the low state minimums. For senior drivers on fixed incomes, uninsured motorist coverage is often the most cost-effective protection against medical bills from accidents caused by uninsured drivers.

Comprehensive Coverage

Covers damage to your vehicle from non-collision events such as hail, theft, wildlife strikes, and vandalism. Utah's varied terrain means senior drivers face risks from deer and elk on rural highways, windshield damage from road debris on I-15, and hail in northern counties.

Collision Coverage

Pays to repair or replace your vehicle after a collision with another car or object, regardless of fault.

What Affects Your Rate

  • Wildlife collision frequency in rural Utah counties increases comprehensive coverage costs, particularly for drivers in Cache, Summit, and Wasatch counties where deer and elk strikes are common.
