Is uninsured motorist coverage required in Georgia?

Georgia requires insurers to offer uninsured motorist bodily injury (UMBI) and uninsured motorist property damage (UMPD) coverage with the following minimum limits:

UMBI: $25,000 per person, $50,000 per accident
UMPD: $25,000 with a $250, $500, or $1,000 deductible

Note: You can reject these coverages. UMBI covers medical expenses for you and your passengers if a driver hits you without insurance. UMPD pays for damage caused to your vehicle by an uninsured driver. As with liability coverage, consider higher insurance limits for these coverages to protect your family's financial well-being better. Learn more about uninsured motorist coverage.

What other auto insurance coverages should I consider?

Protect your vehicle with physical damage coverage. Comprehensive car insurance coverage and auto collision coverage can pay for a totaled or damaged vehicle due to an accident or other covered incident. And if you're currently leasing or financing your car, your lender typically requires you to carry both coverages.

How much does car insurance in Georgia cost?

The survey assumed the insured vehicles carried liability coverage, but not necessarily collision or comprehensive coverage.
