Minimum Car Insurance Requirements in New York

All motor vehicles operated or parked on New York roadways are required to be insured. Proof of insurance must be carried in your car at all times and must be available when:

Requested by law enforcement
Renewing vehicle registration
The vehicle is involved in a car accident

The minimum liability insurance requirements for private passenger vehicles in New York^[1] are:

$25,000 per person for bodily injury
$50,000 per accident for bodily injury

As a major part of your liability insurance, bodily injury coverage covers medical bills for people other than the policyholder who are injured during an accident. New York is a no-fault state, meaning both parties’ insurance providers will pay for expenses, regardless of which party caused the accident.

$10,000 per accident for property damage

If it’s determined that an insured driver is at fault for an accident, this coverage pays for repairs to the property of the other involved parties. Additionally, property damage coverage can cover legal costs if the insured driver is involved in a lawsuit following the accident.

$50,000 per accident for PIP

Personal injury protection coverage, also referred to as PIP coverage, will cover the policyholder for medical payments they incur in the event of an accident. Depending on your plan, you may also receive non-medical benefits, compensating you for lost wages, household expenses, and even funeral costs.

$25,000 per person for uninsured/underinsured motorist bodily injury
$50,000 per accident for uninsured/underinsured motorist bodily injury

Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage pays for costs caused by a driver with little or no insurance after a car accident. In New York, this coverage is for bodily injury resulting from accidents with either type of driver.

Binghamton Car Insurance Rates by Driving and Accident History

Car insurance companies use your driving record as a major indicator of your risk of making a claim^[2]. The higher your risk, the higher the price of your premium. That’s why people with clean records pay less than people with tickets or car accidents in their driving history. In Binghamton, drivers with clean records save $732 a year compared to those with a speeding ticket.

Driver History	Average Monthly Cost
Clean Record	$179
Speeding Ticket	$240
At-Fault Accident	$261
DUI	$356

Binghamton Car Insurance Rates by Credit Tier

Did you know that insurers can use your credit score as an indicator of your risk^[3]? People with low credit scores have higher claim rates on average than those with higher credit scores, so they pay more for insurance. They also have trouble purchasing newer vehicles and getting favorable rates for car loans—one more reason to build and maintain good credit habits.

Credit Tier	Average Monthly Cost
Excellent	$165
Good	$195
Average	$214
Poor	$332
