Minimum Coverage Requirements in Maryland

Maryland operates under a traditional tort liability system—the at-fault driver pays. The state requires continuous liability coverage and proof of insurance at all times. Non-owner SR-22 policies satisfy filing requirements for suspended drivers without vehicles, providing the state-mandated liability minimums when you drive someone else's car with permission.

30/60 ($30,000 per person, $60,000 per accident)
Bodily Injury Liability
Pays medical expenses and lost wages for people you injure in an at-fault accident. Maryland's $30,000 per-person minimum covers less than one night in a trauma unit—Baltimore area hospitals bill $4,000–$8,000 per day. Non-owner policies provide this coverage when you drive borrowed vehicles, but increase limits to at least 50/100 if you regularly drive newer vehicles or commute in urban areas.

Property Damage Liability
Pays repair costs for vehicles and property you damage in an at-fault accident. Maryland's $15,000 minimum covers one mid-range vehicle—average repair cost after a serious collision in Maryland runs $8,000–$12,000. Non-owner policies include this coverage. If you borrow high-value vehicles regularly, increase to $25,000 or $50,000.

Uninsured Motorist Coverage
Pays your medical bills and property damage when an at-fault driver has no insurance. Maryland requires carriers to offer uninsured motorist coverage matching your liability limits—you must reject it in writing at policy inception or it's added automatically. Non-owner policies include this coverage. Roughly 12% of Maryland drivers carry no insurance, highest in Baltimore and Prince George's County.
Continuous filing for 3 years after most violations
SR-22 Certificate of Financial Responsibility
Maryland courts or the Motor Vehicle Administration order SR-22 filing after DUI, multiple at-fault accidents, driving on a suspended license, or accumulating 8+ points in 2 years. The carrier files Form SR-22 with the MVA electronically—usually within 24 hours of policy binding. If your policy lapses or cancels, the carrier notifies the MVA immediately and your license suspends again. Non-owner SR-22 satisfies the filing requirement without owning a vehicle.
