Minimum Coverage Requirements in New York

New York operates under a no-fault insurance system, meaning your own Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage pays medical bills after an accident regardless of who caused it. The state requires proof of insurance at vehicle registration and after any suspension requiring SR-22 filing. Non-owner SR-22 policies satisfy the SR-22 filing mandate without requiring a specific vehicle to be listed on the policy.

25/50 ($25,000 per person, $50,000 per accident)
Bodily Injury Liability
Pays medical bills and lost wages for people you injure in an at-fault accident. New York's $25,000 per-person minimum covers less than one emergency room visit in metro areas — many carriers recommend 100/300 minimums. Non-owner policies provide this coverage when you drive someone else's vehicle with permission.
$10,000
Property Damage Liability
Covers damage you cause to another person's vehicle or property. New York's $10,000 minimum is the lowest property damage requirement in the country and typically insufficient for multi-vehicle accidents. Non-owner SR-22 includes this coverage at state minimums or higher if you select increased limits.
$50,000
Personal Injury Protection (PIP)
Covers your own medical expenses, lost wages, and necessary services after an accident, regardless of fault. New York requires $50,000 minimum PIP on all policies, including non-owner policies. This is not optional and accounts for roughly 30% of non-owner SR-22 premium cost in New York.
25/50 unless rejected in writing
Uninsured Motorist Coverage
Protects you if you're hit by a driver with no insurance or a hit-and-run driver. New York automatically includes uninsured motorist coverage at 25/50 minimums unless you reject it in writing at policy inception — verbal rejection does not count. Non-owner policies include this unless you complete the rejection form.

How Much Does Car Insurance Cost in New York?

Non-owner SR-22 premiums in New York run 30–60% lower than owner SR-22 because the policy carries no comprehensive or collision coverage and no specific vehicle. Cost depends on the violation that triggered the filing requirement, your age, and how many violations appear on your driving record in the past 3 years.

What Affects Your Rate

  • Violation type — DUI filings cost 40–60% more than suspended license for unpaid tickets
  • New York ZIP code — Brooklyn and Bronx non-owner rates run $15–$25/month higher than rural upstate counties due to accident density
  • Filing duration — New York requires 3-year SR-22 filing for most alcohol violations, 1 year for financial responsibility lapses
  • Age and driving history — drivers under 25 with SR-22 filing requirements pay roughly double the base non-owner rate
  • Carrier availability — only 6–8 non-standard carriers consistently write non-owner SR-22 in New York, reducing competition in rural markets
Minimum Coverage
$40–$60/mo
State minimums only: 25/50/10 liability plus mandatory $50,000 PIP. Lowest legal cost for non-owner SR-22 filing in New York.
Standard Coverage
$60–$85/mo
Increased liability limits to 50/100/25 or 100/300/50, typically required by lenders if you lease or finance a vehicle during the filing period.
Full Coverage
$75–$110/mo
Maximum liability limits (250/500/100) plus uninsured motorist coverage at matching limits. Provides stronger protection if you regularly drive high-value borrowed vehicles.
