Delaware residents must follow specific guidelines about auto insurance coverage.
Guidelines
- In Delaware, you cannot register your car until you can prove that you have insurance first.
- Vehicles are randomly checked for insurance coverage in Delaware, and insurance companies are required to notify the state when coverage ends. Not having coverage could result in a fine, loss of registration or loss of driver’s license.
- For Delaware, the minimums are $15,000 liability for one person injured, $30,000 for all people injured, and $10,000 for property damage.
- Your insurance company will cover costs for medical expenses and loss of wages for you and your passengers, which under law must be at least $15,000 for one person and $30,000 for all people.
- Delaware follows a Tort system, which means someone is found to be at fault in an accident who is responsible for all the damages.
