Is Auto Insurance Mandatory in Phoenix?

Yes, Arizona law mandates that all drivers must carry auto insurance. Understanding these requirements ensures you remain compliant and adequately protected while on the road.

Legal Requirements to Drive in Phoenix

According to the Arizona Department of Insurance and Financial Institutions, the state mandates the following minimum coverage limits:

Bodily injury liability: $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident. This coverage pays for injuries that you cause to someone else.
Property damage liability: $15,000 per accident. This coverage pays for damage you cause to another person’s property with your vehicle.

Optional Phoenix Car Insurance Coverages

While the law requires liability coverage, several other types of insurance are available to enhance your protection on the road. Here are some optional coverages you might consider:

Collision coverage: Pays for damage to your vehicle resulting from a collision, regardless of who’s at fault. This is particularly important in Phoenix, where dense traffic can increase the likelihood of accidents.
Comprehensive coverage: Provides coverage for a range of non-collision incidents such as theft, vandalism, and weather-related damage, which is crucial in Phoenix where summer storms and heat can unexpectedly damage vehicles.
Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage: Offers protection if you’re involved in an accident with a driver who either lacks sufficient insurance or is not insured at all.
Medical payments coverage: Helps pay for medical expenses associated with a car accident, regardless of who’s at fault. This can be vital for covering immediate medical costs for you and your passengers.

What Does Phoenix Auto Insurance Not Cover?

Most car insurance policies have specific exclusions that define what the insurance company will not pay for. Here are some typical exclusions you might encounter in auto insurance policies:

Intentional damage: Auto insurance doesn’t cover damages you intentionally cause to your vehicle or another vehicle.
Wear and tear: Insurance policies don't cover a vehicle's normal aging and wear. This includes routine maintenance issues such as oil changes, tire wear, brake pads, and similar upkeep necessities.
Racing: Damages incurred while participating in racing or any form of competitive driving are generally not covered by standard auto insurance policies.
Commercial use: If you use your vehicle for business, such as making deliveries, you’ll likely need a business auto insurance policy to get coverage.
Personal belongings: Personal items left in the vehicle that are damaged or stolen usually are not covered under an auto insurance policy. You’ll need homeowners or renters insurance to get coverage for these items.
