Vermont Increases Fine for not having Uninsured Motorist Coverage
Uninsured Motorist Insurance Required in VT or Pay A Fine
The state of Vermont has passed an updated Vermont car insurance law which requires Uninsured Motorist coverage on all vehicles registered in the state. Part of this update increases the fine for not having this coverage from $100 to as much as $500. That increase is more than enough encouragement for owners to call their agent and have this coverage added to their policy.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is meant to protect drivers in Vermont. It is not optional coverage as it is in a lot of other states. Damages from an accident in which the other driver is not insured can be extreme and this coverage will take care of those damages.
Over 14% of drivers nationwide do not have insurance on their vehicles, and in some states it is as high as 20%. Therefore your chances of being involved in an accident with an uninsured driver are pretty good, and the cost of Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is not that expensive.
Vermont drivers are encouraged to call their agent or broker and get a quote for adding this coverage. You’ll have more peace of mind knowing that you will be covered!
