Minimum Coverage Requirements in Missouri

The Missouri Department of Revenue requires SR-22 filing after DUI convictions, license suspensions for point accumulation, uninsured accidents, and serious moving violations. Drivers must maintain continuous SR-22 filing for typically 3 years, and any lapse triggers license re-suspension and restarts the filing clock.

Liability Insurance

Missouri law mandates 25/50/25 liability limits, but these minimums leave high-risk drivers exposed in serious accidents. High-risk drivers facing SR-22 requirements should consider 50/100/50 or higher to avoid out-of-pocket exposure and demonstrate financial responsibility to the Missouri Department of Revenue.

SR-22 Insurance

SR-22 is not a separate insurance policy but a certificate your insurer files electronically with the Missouri Department of Revenue proving you carry at least state minimum coverage. Your insurer must notify the Department of Revenue immediately if your policy lapses, which triggers automatic license suspension and extends your SR-22 requirement.

Full Coverage

Full coverage combines liability, comprehensive, and collision protection.

Uninsured Motorist Coverage

Missouri does not require uninsured motorist coverage, but insurers must offer it at the same limits as your liability policy.

Comprehensive Coverage

Comprehensive coverage pays for non-collision damage including theft, hail, vandalism, and animal strikes. Missouri sees significant hail activity along the I-70 corridor and higher vehicle theft rates in metro areas, making comprehensive coverage valuable for drivers with newer vehicles.

What Affects Your Rate

  • SR-22 filing duration remaining: drivers within 6 months of completing their 3-year requirement may access better rates from standard carriers
  • Claims history during SR-22 period: maintaining a claims-free record during your 3-year filing period is critical for rate recovery after completion
  • Credit-based insurance score: Missouri allows credit-based rating, and high-risk drivers with poor credit may see premiums double compared to those with good credit
