Auto Insurance in Missouri
Liability for injury and damage you cause, plus optional coverage for your own vehicle. Every state sets a minimum; the minimum is rarely enough.
What is different in Missouri
Missouri requires uninsured motorist coverage. The southeastern counties sit inside the New Madrid seismic zone, where earthquake coverage is written separately and carries deductibles set as a percentage of Coverage A rather than a flat amount. Hail is the dominant property peril across the western half of the state.
