New Jersey - NJ Auto -  Car Insurance
New Jersey's State motto: "Liberty and Prosperity"

The average auto insurance premium for residents in New Jersey is $1,365 in 2003; the national average was at $914. Since most people think these rates are fixed by state and insurance companies, they never shop around for better rates. So average New Jerseyites can get a better-than-average low rate on their auto insurance.

Rates also change over the years and especially in a state like New Jersey, if you are not careful you could end up paying too much for your auto insurance. Looking back, the average auto insurance premium in 2000 was about $1,146, an increase of about 19.11% in just 3 years!

Minimum State Insurance Requirements

The state of New Jersey follows a No-Fault system meaning your insurance company will make payments for your injury claims regardless of fault, up to a specified limit. You should be aware that the details of a no-fault system vary from state to state and it is best to check with your state insurance regulator. Visit our State Insurance Regulators page for a list of links to all the state insurance regulators websites.

New Jersey state law requires minimum Bodily Injury Liability coverage of $15,000 per injured person up to a total of $30,000 per accident, and Property Damage Liability coverage with a minimum limit of $5,000. This basic coverage is often referred to as 15/30/5 coverage.

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) in your coverage helps pay for "reasonable and necessary" medical expenses for you and your passengers. New Jersey state law requires a minimum Personal Injury Protection coverage of $15,000.

Additionally, you can get Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage for any bodily injury caused by an uninsured driver. While New Jersey state law does not require this coverage, you can purchase this as an optional coverage for added protection.
