Damages above the policy limit of $50,000 are your responsibility.
Property damage liabilitry coverage pays for any property that you damage in an accident. The state of Mississippi requires $25,000 for the minimum.

The sinking feeling after realizing you’ve caused an accident is no exaggeration. Even a tiny fender bender can raise rates to levels that significantly alter your budget. If you’ve paid for accident forgiveness you may have caught a break. If not: discounts, discounts, discounts.
And comparison shopping at least every time your policy is up for renewal: insurance companies look at different time windows for driving history. For example, one company might look at the last five years while the other looks at the last three. Here are the best rates we could find for drivers with one at-fault accident.

The need for speed can soon turn into the need for a new budget. Speeding tickets can affect people differently. But essentially, the more often you speed—and the higher your mph—the more points you’ll receive on your driver’s license. Higher points mean higher prices in the car insurance game. The best way to lower costs? Slow down and find a discount program, like a defensive driving course reduction.

If you’re under 40 years old in the state of Mississippi, you will likely pay more for auto insurance coverage than the average driver. Since inexperienced drivers pose a higher risk for insurance providers, their rates are often significantly higher. MetLife offers the cheapest car insurance rates for young drivers, averaging $26 a month. New drivers must abide by special driving restrictions, including curfews, electronic device limitations, and passenger age restrictions. Be sure to familiarize yourself with these rules before hitting the road.
Insurance policies for 21-year-olds generally run higher than the national average by a significant margin. Even though they’re no longer considered teen-drivers, 21-year-olds are still regarded as high-risk to insurers. Unlike most states, Mississippi 21-year-olds benefit from the state’s ban on using gender, education level, and credit score as factors when calculating premiums. This will generally help young Mississippians lower their monthly payments. To find the cheapest car insurance for 21-year-olds, use a car insurance quotes comparison site like Insurify.

If your license has been suspended or revoked, these car insurance companies will file an SR-22 with the state of Mississippi on your behalf.
Mississippi DMV is called the driver’s license office (DLO). There are nine different districts to serve the Magnolia State.
The DLOs are walk-in friendly, but you’ll have to schedule to take a driver’s license test. Those new to the state have 30 days to register a vehicle. You can do that at the local county tax collectors office. New residents seeking a license will need a certified state-issued long-form birth certificate, social security card, and two proofs of residency.
After you’ve registered your vehicle and gotten your driver’s license, in the future, you can save time by using the online portal. On the website, you can renew your license or ID card, pay a reinstatement fee, or request your motor vehicle record.
