Minimum Car Insurance Requirements in Pennsylvania

All motor vehicles operated or parked on Pennsylvania 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 Pennsylvania[1] are:

  • $15,000 per person for bodily injury

  • $30,000 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. Pennsylvania is a no-fault state, meaning both parties’ insurance providers will pay for expenses, regardless of which party caused the accident.

  • $5,000 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.

  • $5,000 per accident for Medical Benefits

Medical Benefits, similar to 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.

Bethlehem Car Insurance Rates by Driver Age

Hardworking teenagers should be able to squeak out a $276 car insurance payment and still have time for school, sports, and extracurriculars. In the Keystone State, premium prices go down as experience on the road increases. That’s why young adults in their 20s snag a $90 break compared to what teen drivers shell out. From there, everyone gets a deal that skates below the state average of $200 per month. Those in their 60s lock in the best rate, with a premium that’s less than half of what the youngest drivers pay.

Bethlehem Car Insurance Rates by Driving and Accident History

Bethlehem residents expect safe driving to bring multiple benefits. They get the peace of mind that results from defensive driving, and insurance companies award the most cautious motorists with “good driver” and “accident-free” discounts. But all the price cuts can go away with a sleepy morning and a resulting speeding ticket. Even worse, a failure-to-stop violation pumps the price up by over $100 per month, or $1,200 per year. The good news is that after three years of careful driving, tickets and accidents stop affecting car insurance rates.

Bethlehem Car Insurance Rates by Credit Tier

Many Pennsylvanians have a tough time figuring out how their credit affects their driving. But state law allows insurance companies to look at credit when deciding rates. Usually, those with better credit pay less. Why would people with average credit pay less than those with good credit? Drivers with better credit can finance costlier cars and opt for more coverage to protect their assets. That said, moving from poor to excellent credit will save over $45 per month, or $540 per year.

FAQs - Bethlehem, PA Car Insurance

  • What happens if I’m found guilty of drunk driving in Bethlehem?

    Drunk driving anywhere in the United States can mean a slew of consequences not limited to charges, fines, and even jail time. But if you are convicted of drunk driving in Pennsylvania, it’s entirely possible for your car insurance provider to cancel your policy. How can this happen? In this state, if your blood alcohol content (BAC) is high enough, your license can be suspended. License suspension is a valid reason for your insurer to cancel your policy in Pennsylvania. If your provider cancels your insurance, your only choice may be to find another insurance provider that insures high-risk drivers.

  • What happens if I forget to pay for my car insurance?

    If you don’t pay your auto insurance premium on time, your insurance company can cancel your coverage. If this happens and you are without insurance, you experience what is known as a lapse in coverage. Pennsylvania law requires car insurance companies to notify PennDOT if they cancel your insurance. After 31 days, if you haven’t taken care of getting new car insurance and communicating that to PennDOT, your vehicle registration privileges are suspended for three months, and you will be faced with fees to reinstate them.

  • I don’t live in Bethlehem, but my daughter goes to school there. Can I keep her on my policy?

    If your daughter is a full-time student and uses your address as her primary address, you can keep her on your policy. Keeping children on your policy ensures that they are covered when they borrow the car while at home. If they take a car to college, it’s important to keep them on your policy as well—and it’s cheaper. You still want to inform your insurance provider if they take the car to school, as the “garaging” address can sometimes affect rates.

Methodology

Insurify data scientists analyzed more than 90 million quotes served to car insurance applicants in Insurify’s proprietary database to calculate the premium averages displayed on this page. These premiums are real quotes that come directly from Insurify’s 50+ partner insurance companies in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. Quote averages represent the median price for a quote across the given coverage level, driver subset, and geographic area.

Unless otherwise specified, quoted rates reflect the average cost for drivers between 20 and 70 years old with a clean driving record and average or better credit (a credit score of 600 or higher).

Liability-only premium averages correspond to policies with the following coverage limits:

  • Bodily injury limits between state-minimum rates and $50,000 per person, $100,000 per accident
  • Property damage limits between $10,000 and $50,000
  • No additional coverage
Full-coverage premium averages correspond to the same bodily injury and property damage limits in addition to:
  • Comprehensive coverage with a $1,000 deductible
  • Collision coverage with a $1,000 deductible

Quotes for Allstate, Farmers, GEICO, State Farm, and USAA are estimates based on Quadrant Information Services’ database of auto insurance rates.
