Minimum Car Insurance Requirements in Virginia

Virginia does not require automobile insurance, offering drivers to pay an Uninsured Motor Vehicle fee in lieu of coverage.

If you do choose to purchase insurance, the minimum liability insurance requirements for private passenger vehicles in Virginia[1] are:

  • $30,000 per person for bodily injury

  • $60,000 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. Virginia is an at-fault state, meaning the driver who is responsible for the collision is also responsible for paying for any resulting expenses, either through their car insurance provider or out of pocket.

  • $20,000 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.

Alexandria Car Insurance Rates by Driver Age

Though insurance companies use many details about drivers to estimate risk and set rates, age is a big one. In Alexandria, rates suggest that older drivers cost less to insure than those with less experience on the road. This is because a younger driver’s immaturity works against them. Statistically speaking, teen drivers have more accidents than any other age group. Teen drivers in Alexandria, therefore, pay the most, at $382 in monthly insurance premiums. Rates here decline as you age, with drivers in their 60s paying the least, at $171.

Alexandria Car Insurance Rates by Driving and Accident History

When you cause an accident or engage in risky driving behavior, insurance rates increase. Why? Because car insurance companies have to recover the money they either lost in your previous claim or assume they will lose in the future (because poor driving puts you in a higher risk category). Alexandria drivers with a clean driving history pay $198 for insurance premiums monthly. Someone with an at-fault accident on their record, however, pays 38 percent more, at $273.

Alexandria Car Insurance Rates by Credit Tier

Though the use of credit scores to calculate insurance rates is a touchy subject, it’s a common practice. Why? People in the know have been able to relate credit score to claims risk. Underwriters use a credit-based insurance score, therefore, to assess risk and assign you a rate. The better you manage your money, the higher your credit score and better your policy pricing will be. A motorist with a good credit score can expect to pay $204 in car insurance costs monthly in Alexandria.
