New York - NY Auto -  Car Insurance
New York's State motto: "Excelsior"
("Higher")

The average auto insurance premium for residents in New York is $1,313 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 Yorkers 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 York, 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 $1,094, an increase of about 20.02% in just 3 years!

Minimum State Insurance Requirements

The state of New York 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 York state law requires minimum Bodily Injury Liability coverage of $25,000 per injured person up to a total of $50,000 per accident, and Property Damage Liability coverage with a minimum limit of $10,000. This basic coverage is often referred to as 25/50/10 coverage.

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) in your coverage helps pay for "reasonable and necessary" medical expenses for you and your passengers. New York state law requires a minimum Personal Injury Protection coverage of $50,000.

To help protect against damages caused to you and your passengers by an uninsured driver, New York state law requires a minimum Uninsured/UnderInsured Motorist coverage of $25,000 per person, $50,000 per accident for any bodily injury caused by the uninsured driver.
