Minimum Coverage Requirements in Utah

Drivers convicted of DUI, suspended for accumulating 200 points in 3 years, or involved in an at-fault accident without insurance must file SR-22 with the Utah Driver License Division. The SR-22 requirement typically lasts 3 years from the date of conviction or reinstatement.

Liability Insurance

Utah's 25/65/15 minimum is the legal floor, but it leaves significant gaps for high-risk drivers. Many non-standard carriers recommend 50/100/25 or higher to reduce exposure and demonstrate financial responsibility to the Utah Driver License Division.

SR-22 Insurance

SR-22 is not a separate insurance policy — it's a certificate that proves you carry continuous coverage meeting Utah's minimums. Your insurer files it electronically with the Utah Driver License Division, and any lapse or cancellation is reported immediately, which can result in an automatic license suspension and restart of your 3-year requirement. Not all carriers offer SR-22 filing; you'll typically work with a non-standard or high-risk insurer.

Full Coverage

Full coverage combines Utah's required liability with comprehensive and collision protection for your own vehicle. If you're financing or leasing, your lender will require it regardless of your SR-22 status.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage

Utah law requires insurers to offer uninsured and underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage at the same limits as your liability policy, and you must sign a waiver to decline it. For high-risk drivers already carrying SR-22, UM/UIM is critical — if an uninsured driver hits you during your SR-22 period, medical bills and lost wages can compound your financial recovery.

What Affects Your Rate

  • Violation type: DUI convictions carry higher surcharges than point-based suspensions or at-fault accidents
  • SR-22 filing status: the 3-year requirement adds administrative cost and limits carrier options
  • Points on license: Utah assesses 35–80 points per violation, and carriers price based on total point accumulation
  • Age and gender: young male drivers with violations face the steepest rate increases in the non-standard market
  • County and ZIP code: Salt Lake County and urban areas see higher theft and accident rates, increasing comprehensive and collision premiums
