What are the minimum car insurance requirements in Georgia?

Understanding Georgia state insurance requirements is the first step on your car insurance journey. Here's what you need to know about the minimum coverages required:

Bodily injury liability insurance in Georgia

Bodily injury liability coverage can help cover the costs associated with injuries to others if you’re at-fault in an accident. In Georgia, you’re required to carry at least:

  • $25,000 per person

  • $50,000 per accident

Property damage liability insurance in Georgia

Property damage liability coverage can help cover the costs of fixing or replacing other people's property when you’re at-fault in a covered accident. This coverage can apply to a vehicle or to stationary fixture like a fence or mailbox. Georgia requires all drivers to carry at least:

  • $25,000 per accident

Uninsured motorist coverages in Georgia

If you’re in a covered accident where the at-fault driver is uninsured, you may end up paying for the repairs out of pocket. That’s why adding uninsured motorist coverage to your car insurance policy can be so valuable. Auto insurance companies in Georgia are required to offer uninsured motorist bodily injury and property damage coverages, but you can reject these coverages in writing.

Optional car insurance coverages in Georgia

While meeting Georgia state insurance requirements is essential, you might want to consider some extra protection. Here are a few options:

  • Comprehensive coverage: This coverage can help pay for repair or replacement if your vehicle is damaged by events like theft, vandalism, and certain weather events.

  • Collision coverage: This coverage can help pay for car repairs after an accident involving another vehicle or a stationary object, regardless of who's at fault.

  • Medical payments coverage: Also called Med Pay, this coverage can help pay for you and your passengers’ medical bills after an accident.

SR22 insurance in Georgia

An SR22 form isn’t actually a type of car insurance coverage. Instead, it’s a certificate that proves to the state that you carry the required minimum liability car insurance. You may need to file an SR22 form if you’ve been convicted of certain offenses like a DUI or driving without insurance.

In Georgia, there's typically no fee to file, and we send all SR22s to the state at the end of each day for timely processing.
