What are the minimum requirements for car insurance in Maine?

Maine drivers must have a minimum amount of liability insurance to drive legally. This requirement is sometimes written as 50/100/25. Maine drivers also need matching uninsured and underinsured motorist liability coverage and medical payment coverage. This is more coverage than most states require.

Drivers can also get a combined liability limit of $125,000, instead of separate personal injury and property damage limits.

What's the best car insurance coverage for ME drivers?

Full coverage car insurance is the best choice for most drivers in Maine.

Full coverage pays for most types of damage to your car because it includes comprehensive and collision coverage. For that reason, most lenders require you to have full coverage if you have a car loan or lease. It's also a good idea if your car is less than eight years old or worth more than $5,000.

Full coverage usually has higher liability limits than the state requirement as well. This is important because the minimum insurance required in Maine may not be enough to cover the cost of a serious accident.

For example, if you hit and total a brand new car, $25,000 of property damage liability coverage may not be enough to replace it. That means you'll have to pay the difference out of pocket.
