Minimum Coverage Requirements in Wyoming

Wyoming requires minimum liability coverage of 25/50/20: $25,000 bodily injury per person, $50,000 per accident, and $20,000 property damage. Drivers convicted of DUI, caught driving without insurance, or accumulating excessive violations typically must file SR-22 proof of financial responsibility with the Wyoming Department of Transportation for 3 years. For high-risk drivers, carrying only state minimums leaves significant personal liability exposure—medical costs from serious accidents routinely exceed $25,000 per person, and at-fault drivers remain personally liable for amounts above policy limits.

How Much Does Car Insurance Cost in Wyoming?

High-risk insurance costs in Wyoming depend primarily on violation type, points accumulated, and how recently the incident occurred. DUI convictions typically result in the highest premiums—$190–$400/mo or $2,400–$4,800/year—while multiple speeding tickets or at-fault accidents without DUI may cost $150–$280/mo. Rates decrease as you move further from the violation date without additional incidents, with most drivers seeing meaningful reductions after 3–5 years of clean driving.

Minimum Liability

Wyoming's 25/50/20 minimum liability for drivers with multiple speeding violations or a single at-fault accident, excluding DUI. This tier assumes no SR-22 requirement and clean driving for at least 12 months since the most recent violation.

Standard SR-22

SR-22 filers with non-DUI suspensions, multiple violations, or at-fault accidents requiring proof of financial responsibility. Rates remain elevated throughout the 3-year filing period and begin to decrease 12–18 months after the filing requirement ends.

DUI with SR-22

DUI or DWI conviction requiring SR-22 filing, representing the highest-risk profile in Wyoming. Rates remain at this level for 3–5 years post-conviction and require non-standard carriers willing to file SR-22 for impaired driving offenses.

What Affects Your Rate

Violation type: DUI/DWI convictions result in premiums 150–200% higher than multiple speeding tickets
License points: Wyoming suspends licenses at 12 points in 12 months; drivers near this threshold face non-standard carrier placement
Time since violation: most carriers reduce rates 10–15% annually after year 3 of clean driving post-SR-22
SR-22 filing requirement: adds $15–$35 filing cost plus 40–80% premium increase for 3-year duration
Prior lapses: coverage gaps during SR-22 period restart the 3-year clock and may add 20–40% to premiums
Rural vs. urban location: Cheyenne and Casper drivers pay 10–20% more than rural areas due to higher accident and theft rates
