Missouri requires liability coverage on every registered vehicle. The legal floor:
Minimum coverage keeps you legal, not necessarily solvent: the average new truck costs more than $25,000 to replace, so one at-fault accident can outrun your property-damage limit.
UM coverage also required.
Minimums cross-checked against Insurance Information Institute and state DOI sources, July 2026; see our methodology. Rules change; verify current minimums with your state's Department of Insurance.
Premiums swing inside Missouri: traffic density, claim frequency, and repair costs vary from ZIP to ZIP, so quote with your exact address.
Rates in Missouri run about 12% above the national average, at about $69/mo for liability and $223/mo for full coverage. Traffic density, weather claims, repair costs, and uninsured drivers all feed into local pricing, and comparing 3 or more quotes is the fastest way to come in under the state average.
Fines, license and registration suspension, SR-22 filings, and reinstatement fees, with exact amounts set by Missouri law. Check current penalties with the Missouri Department of Insurance, then let Scout dig up a minimum-coverage policy that costs less than the paperwork.
