Mississippi Auto Insurance (MS)

“Proof of Financial Responsibility” is required to operate a motor vehicle in the beautiful, southern state of Mississippi. This is because Mississippi is considered to be a “Tort” state for insurance purposes, meaning that you are financially responsible for any damages or injuries resulting from an auto accident that you caused.

You can prove this in one of three ways:

  • Posting a bond in the amount of $25,000
  • A certificate of deposit (CD) with the state for $25,000
  • Purchasing auto liability insurance with the minimum levels of 25/50/25 (see the chart below)
