Arizona Auto Insurance Requirements & Rates

Covers medical expenses, lost wages, and legal costs when you injure someone in an at-fault accident. Most insurers recommend at least 100/300 limits to avoid personal asset exposure.

Pays for damage you cause to another vehicle, fence, building, or property. Underinsured claims are frequent in multi-vehicle pileups during dust storm blackouts on rural highways.

Protects you when hit by a driver with no insurance or insufficient coverage. Arizona law requires insurers to offer UM/UIM coverage in the same limits as your liability policy, and you must reject it in writing.

Covers non-collision damage including theft, vandalism, hail, flood, and animal strikes. Phoenix consistently ranks among the top 10 U.S. cities for vehicle theft, with truck and catalytic converter thefts especially prevalent. Monsoon season brings flash flooding and large hail across the Valley, making comprehensive essential for vehicles parked outdoors.

Pays to repair or replace your vehicle after an accident, regardless of fault. Arizona's rural highways — including long stretches of US-60, SR-77, and I-8 — see frequent rollover accidents on curves and soft shoulders. Collision is typically required by lenders if you finance or lease your vehicle.
