Minimum Coverage Requirements in Minnesota

Drivers with DUI convictions, license suspensions for driving violations, multiple at-fault accidents within a short period, or uninsured motorist accidents typically must file SR-22 proof of financial responsibility with the Minnesota Department of Public Safety Driver and Vehicle Services (DPS-DVS) for 3 years. If you're completing your SR-22 requirement, you'll need written confirmation from your insurer that the filing has been canceled and DPS-DVS notification that your monitoring period has ended before standard carriers will quote you at non-high-risk rates.

Bodily Injury Liability

Covers injuries you cause to others in an at-fault accident. High-risk drivers leaving SR-22 should carry at least 100/300 limits—standard carriers price higher limits competitively for post-SR22 drivers with clean records since their filing ended, and the liability gap protection is significant if you cause a serious accident during your rate recovery period.

Property Damage Liability

Covers damage you cause to another person's vehicle or property.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage

Protects you if you're hit by a driver with no insurance or insufficient coverage. Post-SR22 drivers benefit significantly from UM/UIM at matching liability limits (100/300) because it ensures your own recovery isn't limited by another driver's minimum-limit policy, and most standard carriers bundle it affordably once your SR-22 period ends.

Comprehensive Coverage

Covers non-collision damage: theft, vandalism, hail, animal strikes, and weather damage. Minnesota's winter weather and high deer-collision rates make comprehensive coverage particularly valuable.

Collision Coverage

Covers damage to your own vehicle after an accident, regardless of fault.

What Affects Your Rate

  • Time since SR-22 requirement ended—rates improve every 6 months for the first 2–3 years post-filing
  • Original violation type: DUI carries longer rate impact (3–5 years) than suspended license (2–3 years)
  • Whether you remained continuously insured during and after SR-22 monitoring—lapses restart the rate recovery clock
  • Credit-based insurance score, which Minnesota carriers use heavily for post-SR22 pricing
