Minimum Coverage Requirements in Massachusetts
Massachusetts operates under a no-fault insurance system, meaning your own Personal Injury Protection coverage pays your medical expenses after an accident regardless of who caused it. The state requires proof of insurance at registration and renewal, enforced through the Massachusetts Registry of Motor Vehicles. Massachusetts also mandates uninsured motorist coverage at the same limits as your bodily injury liability — you cannot reject it, which differs from most states where this coverage is optional.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do Massachusetts car insurance rates increase after age 70?
Yes — most carriers begin increasing premiums for drivers over 70 due to actuarial tables showing higher accident frequency, with more significant increases after age 75. However, Massachusetts law prohibits insurers from using age as the sole rating factor, so a 72-year-old with a clean driving record may still pay less than a 40-year-old with an at-fault accident. Mature driver discounts and low-mileage programs can offset age-based increases.
Coverage Types
Liability Insurance
Covers injuries and property damage you cause to others. Massachusetts's 20/40/5 minimum is among the lowest in the nation — one at-fault accident can exceed these limits and expose retirement savings to lawsuit judgments.
Comprehensive Coverage
Pays for non-collision damage: theft, vandalism, weather events, and animal strikes. Massachusetts winters cause frequent windshield damage from road debris and ice — comprehensive covers glass replacement minus your deductible.
Full Coverage
Combines higher liability limits with comprehensive and collision coverage. Necessary only if your vehicle is financed, leased, or worth more than $8,000–$10,000 — otherwise you're insuring an asset whose replacement cost may be less than two years of premiums.
Uninsured Motorist Coverage
Protects you when hit by a driver with no insurance or in a hit-and-run. Covers medical expenses, lost income, and pain and suffering when the at-fault driver cannot pay.
