Vermont's statute fits on one screen, and it is the source here. Section 800 of Title 23 requires financial responsibility of at least $25,000 for one person, $50,000 for two or more killed or injured and $10,000 for property. Operating without it brings a civil penalty of not more than $500, counted as a traffic violation. Under the same section, every operator of a vehicle required to be registered must have proof when driving, and failing that brings a civil penalty of up to $100. The duty therefore attaches to whoever is driving, including someone who borrows the car, and not only to the owner. Section 801 repeats the same three amounts. The $10,000 property line is the same as Washington's and Wisconsin's, and it is low against the $25,000 we read in many other states.

What the three numbers mean in Vermont

The figure to watch here is the last one: $10,000 of property cover is thin against the price of one late-model car, whatever the injury limits say.

$25,000 is the most the policy pays for one injured person. $50,000 is the most it pays for everyone hurt in the crash. $10,000 is the most it pays for the other car and anything else you damage.

Questions people ask

What is the minimum car insurance in Vermont?

Vermont requires liability limits of at least $25,000 for injury to one person, $50,000 per accident for injuries, and $10,000 for property damage, written 25/50/10. 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 25/50/10 enough coverage in Vermont?

It is the legal floor, not a measure of risk. If one person's injuries cost $75,000, a $25,000 limit leaves $50,000 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.
