Minimum Coverage Requirements in Arizona

Arizona operates under a tort liability system, meaning the at-fault driver pays for damages through their liability coverage. The state requires all drivers to carry proof of insurance and enforces this through electronic verification.

Bodily Injury Liability

Covers medical bills, lost wages, and legal costs when you injure someone in an at-fault accident.

Property Damage Liability

Pays for damage you cause to another vehicle or structure. A single accident totaling a newer SUV leaves you liable for the difference.

Uninsured Motorist Coverage

Covers your medical bills and vehicle damage when hit by a driver with no insurance or insufficient coverage. Rejection must be made in writing at policy inception — verbal rejection doesn't count and the coverage is added automatically if the form isn't signed.

Collision Coverage

Pays to repair your vehicle after an accident regardless of fault, minus your deductible. Dropping collision on older paid-off vehicles is one of the most direct savings strategies for fixed-income drivers.

Comprehensive Coverage

Covers theft, vandalism, weather damage, animal strikes, and glass breakage.

Coverage Types

Liability Insurance

Covers bodily injury and property damage you cause to others. Arizona's 25/50/15 minimum leaves significant asset exposure for retirees — one serious two-car accident with injuries can exceed $100,000 in medical and legal costs.

Comprehensive Coverage

Pays for theft, vandalism, weather damage, and glass breakage. Unlike collision, comprehensive remains cost-effective on older vehicles in high-risk environments.

Uninsured Motorist Coverage

Covers your medical bills and vehicle damage when hit by a driver with no insurance. Arizona does not require this coverage but offers it at policy inception with written rejection required.

Collision Coverage

Pays to repair your vehicle after an accident regardless of fault. Required if you finance or lease — optional if your vehicle is paid off.
