Wisconsin Auto Insurance at a Glance
Wisconsin Minimum Auto Insurance Requirements
Wisconsin requires drivers to carry minimum liability coverage of 25/50/10 (per person / per accident bodily injury / property damage).
Our recommendation: State minimums are rarely enough. We recommend at least 100/300/100 to protect your assets. With 8.8% of WI drivers uninsured, also consider uninsured motorist coverage.
