State minimum requirements in Georgia

In order to legally drive in Georgia, you’ll need minimum liability insurance that includes:

• $25,000 bodily injury liability coverage per person.
• $50,000 bodily injury liability coverage per accident.
• $25,000 property damage liability coverage per accident.

When shopping for car insurance, you’ll sometimes see this written as 25/50/25.

Some states require that drivers purchase uninsured or underinsured motorists coverage (UM/UIM coverage), which protects them in case they get into an accident with someone without proper insurance coverage. Georgia does not require you to carry this type of insurance, although most drivers do.

Can I get SR-22 insurance in Georgia?

Yes, you can. You might need an SR-22 in Georgia if you’ve gotten a DUI, lost your license or have too many violation points on your driving record. The state DMV might require you to file for SR-22 to prove you have the minimum coverage required to get back behind the wheel.

Bottom line

Car insurance is both legally required and oftentimes a good decision for your own safety. Research your insurance options to make sure that you’re receiving the coverage that you need — and that your state requires.

Frequently asked questions about car insurance in Georgia

• Is my out-of-state insurance policy acceptable in Georgia?

  Your out-of-state insurance policy will usually be accepted in Georgia so long as it fulfills the state requirements, however there are always exceptions. If you’re unsure whether or not your coverage will transfer, you can call your local Georgian DMV and your insurance company.

• Will my rates go up if I file a claim through my car insurance?

  While each car insurance policy varies, it’s possible that your car insurance rates will go up if you file a claim. Some providers offer accident forgiveness programs that ensure your premium stays the same after your first accident. But in many cases, a claim on your policy raises your risk profile — and, in turn, your rates.

• Can my insurance company cancel my policy if I file a claim?

  It could: Your car insurance has the right to cancel your policy at any time. But most providers reserve cancellation for policyholders who file multiple claims in a short time or engage in risky driving behaviors that result in multiple tickets or DUI/DWIs. You will typically receive notice from your car insurance company before it plans to cancel your policy.

• How do I register my car in Georgia?

  Before you register your car in Georgia, you’ll need to transfer your license. Using your temporary driver’s license, you can visit the County Tax Commissioner’s Office and register your car.
