Minimum Coverage Requirements in New Jersey

New Jersey is a no-fault state, which means your own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage pays medical bills after an accident regardless of who caused it. The New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission requires all drivers to carry proof of insurance and mandates SR-22 filing after certain violations—most commonly DUI, driving while suspended, or accumulating multiple at-fault accidents within a short period. SR-22 is not insurance itself; it's a certificate your carrier files with the MVC confirming you carry at least state minimum liability coverage continuously for the required filing period.

15/30 ($15,000 per person, $30,000 per accident)
Bodily Injury Liability
Pays medical bills, lost wages, and legal costs when you injure someone else in an at-fault accident. New Jersey's 15/30 minimum is the lowest in the Northeast—one hospital visit after a serious injury can exceed $15,000 in under 24 hours. Non-owner policies provide this coverage when you drive a borrowed vehicle with permission but do not cover injuries you cause while driving a vehicle you own or lease.
$5,000
Property Damage Liability
Covers damage you cause to another person's vehicle or property. New Jersey's $5,000 minimum is among the lowest in the nation and does not cover a totaled mid-size sedan in most cases. Non-owner SR-22 policies include this coverage when you drive someone else's car but do not extend to vehicles titled in your name.
$15,000 standard; $250,000 available
Personal Injury Protection (PIP)
Pays your own medical bills, lost income, and essential services after an accident regardless of fault. New Jersey law requires PIP on all policies, including non-owner policies. The $15,000 minimum covers less than one week of intensive care. Non-owner PIP protects you when driving a borrowed vehicle or riding as a passenger.
Can be rejected in writing
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage
New Jersey allows you to reject uninsured motorist (UM) and underinsured motorist (UIM) coverage, but rejection must be made in writing at policy inception. If you do not explicitly reject it, carriers are required to include UM/UIM at the same limits as your bodily injury liability. Non-owner policies follow the same rule—if you accept UM/UIM, your premium increases but you gain protection when hit by an uninsured driver while borrowing a vehicle.

How Much Does Car Insurance Cost in New Jersey?

Non-owner SR-22 premiums in New Jersey run 30-60% lower than owner SR-22 because there is no vehicle to insure for comprehensive or collision damage. Your rate depends on the violation that triggered the filing requirement, your age, your zip code, and the number of years since your last moving violation.

What Affects Your Rate

  • DUI-triggered SR-22 filing raises non-owner premiums 40-90% over clean-record non-owner rates in New Jersey due to the three-year filing period and mandatory high-risk classification.
  • Urban zip codes (Newark, Jersey City, Paterson) add 15-30% to non-owner SR-22 premiums compared to suburban counties due to higher uninsured motorist rates and accident frequency.
  • Drivers under 25 with SR-22 filing requirements pay 20-50% more than drivers over 25 for the same non-owner policy because loss ratios are higher in younger age brackets.
  • Stacking multiple violations (DUI plus DWLS, or DUI plus at-fault accident) during the same filing period can double your non-owner SR-22 premium compared to a single-cause filing.
Minimum Coverage
$35–$55/mo
New Jersey state minimums only: 15/30/5 liability plus $15,000 PIP. No UM/UIM. This tier satisfies SR-22 filing requirements at the lowest cost but leaves you exposed to out-of-pocket costs if you cause an accident involving serious injury or property damage.
Standard Coverage
$50–$80/mo
25/50/25 liability with $50,000 PIP and UM/UIM at matching limits. This tier provides meaningful protection without doubling your premium and is the most common selection among non-owner SR-22 filers in New Jersey.
Full Coverage
$75–$110/mo
100/300/100 liability with $250,000 PIP and UM/UIM. This tier protects your wages and assets if you cause a serious accident while borrowing a vehicle, but it costs more than twice the minimum tier.
