Pennsylvania has the lowest property line in our table, at $5,000, along with $15,000 per person and $30,000 per accident. Only Florida reads lower on injury. PennDOT's enforcement runs through the registration. A lapse suspends the registration for three months, unless it lasted 30 days or less and conditions on the page are met, and PennDOT describes an alternative: instead of serving the suspension, you may pay an optional civil penalty of $500, along with a restoration fee listed on Form MV-70S. Read the conditions there. Because the state's figures are so low, a driver moving in from almost anywhere already exceeds them, and a driver moving out has the opposite problem: in every other state we read, a Pennsylvania minimum policy falls short on at least one line. Run that comparison before you leave. Whether Pennsylvania's tort options apply to you was not on the pages we read.

What the three numbers mean in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania sits at the low end of what we read: 35 states ask for more per person. A policy bought here at the floor can fall short the day its owner moves away.

$15,000 is the most the policy pays for one injured person. $30,000 is the most it pays for everyone hurt in the crash. $5,000 is the most it pays for the other car and anything else you damage.

Questions people ask

What is the minimum car insurance in Pennsylvania?

Pennsylvania requires liability limits of at least $15,000 for injury to one person, $30,000 per accident for injuries, and $5,000 for property damage, written 15/30/5. We read these figures on an official state page on November 2, 2026. Other coverages may apply: see what we could verify on this page, and confirm with the state.

Is 15/30/5 enough coverage in Pennsylvania?

It is the legal floor, not a measure of risk. If one person's injuries cost $45,000, a $15,000 limit leaves $30,000 that can be claimed from you personally. Enter your own scenario in the tool above to see the amount. This is arithmetic on your figures, not insurance advice.
