State guides

Insurance requirements change at the state line.

Every state sets its own minimum coverage rules, and they are not interchangeable. We publish one fully sourced state guide at a time — checked against official state sources and dated — instead of churning out thin pages for every ZIP code.

First state guide

Illinois

Required liability minimums, uninsured-motorist rules, what state minimums actually mean — with links to the official Illinois Department of Insurance and Secretary of State sources.

In progress

More states are on the way

We add one fully sourced state guide at a time, prioritized by reader demand. In the meantime, the coverage guides apply everywhere — and your state insurance department remains the authority for your state's current rules.
