Utah is a no-fault insurance state, which means your own insurance policy pays for your injuries regardless of who caused the accident. All drivers are legally required to carry auto insurance to operate a vehicle. Failing to carry valid insurance in Utah can lead to fines, license suspension, and other penalties.
Drivers must carry at least the following minimum coverages:
Keep in mind that these minimums may not be enough in the event of a major crash. Many drivers choose higher limits or extended coverage for better protection.

Grace periods typically only apply when adding a vehicle to an active policy—not when buying a policy from scratch.
All vehicles must be registered with the Utah Division of Motor Vehicles (DMV). Registration is required annually and involves proof of insurance, vehicle inspection (if applicable), and payment of registration fees.
