Minimum Coverage Requirements in Missouri

Drivers who accumulate 8 points in 18 months face suspension and may need SR-22 certification to reinstate their license. SR-22 filing is also required for DUI convictions, major violations, and uninsured accidents. These minimums provide baseline compliance but often leave high-risk drivers exposed to out-of-pocket costs after an at-fault accident.

Liability Insurance

Missouri's minimum liability requirement is 25/50/25, which may be insufficient if you cause a serious accident. Drivers with violations should consider 50/100/50 or higher limits to avoid personal asset exposure, as Missouri allows injured parties to sue for damages beyond your policy limits.

SR-22 Insurance

SR-22 is not a separate insurance policy but a certificate your insurer files with the Missouri Department of Revenue proving you carry at least state minimum coverage. It's required for license reinstatement after DUI, multiple violations, or driving uninsured.

Full Coverage

Full coverage combines liability, collision, and comprehensive insurance to protect both you and your vehicle. For drivers with points or violations, lenders still require full coverage if you're financing a car, regardless of your driving record.

Uninsured Motorist Coverage

If an uninsured driver hits you and you only carry liability, you'll pay for your own injuries and repairs. UM coverage is especially valuable for high-risk drivers who may already be stretched financially after a rate increase.

Non-Standard Auto Insurance

Non-standard carriers specialize in insuring drivers with DUIs, suspensions, multiple violations, or SR-22 requirements. These companies accept higher-risk profiles but charge significantly more than standard insurers.

Rate data: ValuePenguin and CarInsurance.com, 2026

What Affects Your Rate

  • Type of violation: DUI increases rates far more than a speeding ticket or minor at-fault accident
  • Number of points on your Missouri driving record and how recently they were added
  • Whether SR-22 filing is required and for how long it must remain active
  • City and ZIP code: urban areas like St. Louis and Kansas City see higher rates due to accident frequency and uninsured driver rates
  • Credit-based insurance score, which Missouri allows insurers to use in underwriting and rating
  • Time since violation: rates drop significantly after 3 years and return closer to standard after 5 years with a clean record
