Auto Insurance in Vermont
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 Vermont
Vermont requires uninsured and underinsured motorist limits that exceed its own liability minimum. Riverine flooding is the dominant property exposure — the 2011 and 2023 floods both damaged large numbers of properties outside mapped flood zones — and it is excluded from every homeowners policy.
