Car Insurance in Maryland

What Maryland requires

Drivers in Maryland must carry at least 30/60/15 in liability coverage before getting on the road. That means the state sets minimum limits for bodily injury and property damage you might cause to others. Meeting the minimum keeps you legal, but it's worth remembering that a single serious accident can quickly exceed low limits — leaving you responsible for the rest.

What drivers in Maryland typically pay

Costs in Maryland reflect local factors like traffic density, repair costs, weather, and claims trends. Our illustrative estimates put full coverage around $162/month (about $1950 per year), with budget-minded options near $98/month and state-minimum coverage closer to $73/month. Your real number depends on your vehicle, driving history, and the carrier you choose.
