South Dakota Auto Insurance Requirements

Whether you’re moving to South Dakota, registering a motor vehicle for the first time, or just thinking about adding some extra auto insurance coverage to your existing policy, there are a few things you need to know before doing anything!

South Dakota is a “Tort” state, meaning that each driver is legally and financially responsible for all damages and injuries during an accident for which they are at fault. With this in mind, the state has some state minimum insurance requirements to legally operate an automobile.

First, liability insurance with minimum levels of 25/50/25 (see chart below) are mandatory. This will help to cover your financial responsibility to the other party, if you are at fault in an accident.

Second, underinsured motorist coverage is also mandatory, with the same minimum levels of 25/50. This coverage will assist you in expenses, should you be struck by a motorist without enough liability coverage.

For extra protection, South Dakota drivers may purchase optional coverages like collision, comprehensive, uninsured motorist, and/or medical payments for an optimum auto insurance policy.
