Maine - ME Auto - Car Insurance
Maine's State motto: "Dirigo"
("I Direct Or I Lead")

With Maine resident's average insurance premium at around $730 in 2003, and the national average at around $914, most Mainers incorrectly assume that they have no choice but to accept these rates fixed by insurance companies and state regulatory agencies.

As the years go by the insurance rates also change and by ignoring the rate changes in Maine, you might be paying more than you need to. Just one year earlier, the average auto insurance premium in 2002 was about $671, that's an increase of about 8.79% in just one year!

Minimum State Insurance Requirements

The state of Maine follows a Tort system meaning someone must be found to be at fault for causing the accident, and that person and their insurance company is responsible for all the damages. You should be aware that the details of a tort system vary from state to state and it is best to check with your state insurance regulator. Visit our State Insurance Regulators page for a list of links to all the state insurance regulators websites.

Maine state law requires minimum Bodily Injury Liability coverage of $50,000 per injured person up to a total of $100,000 per accident, and Property Damage Liability coverage with a minimum limit of $25,000. This basic coverage is often referred to as 50/100/25 coverage.

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) in your coverage helps pay for "reasonable and necessary" medical expenses for you and your passengers. Maine state law requires a minimum Personal Injury Protection coverage of $1,000.

To help protect against damages caused to you and your passengers by an uninsured driver, Maine state law requires a minimum Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage of $50,000 per person, $100,000 per accident for any bodily injury caused by the uninsured driver.
