Minimum Coverage Requirements in New Jersey
New Jersey operates under a choice no-fault system, meaning drivers select either Standard or Basic policy types at purchase. All drivers must carry proof of insurance and file verification with the New Jersey Motor Vehicle Commission. Senior drivers on fixed income often choose Basic policies to reduce premiums, but this limits your ability to sue for pain and suffering unless injuries meet the serious injury threshold.

Coverage Types
Liability Insurance
Covers bodily injury and property damage you cause to others. New Jersey's 15/30/5 minimum is insufficient for most accidents — a single serious injury claim can exceed the limit within hours of emergency room treatment.
Comprehensive Coverage
Covers theft, vandalism, weather damage, and animal strikes regardless of fault. Pays the actual cash value of your vehicle minus your deductible.
Uninsured Motorist Coverage
Protects you when hit by a driver with no insurance or limits too low to cover your medical bills and vehicle damage. Must be rejected in writing at policy inception or coverage is added automatically.
Full Coverage
Combines comprehensive and collision with liability at recommended limits. Covers nearly all accident, theft, and damage scenarios but costs $310–$410/month for senior drivers.
