Multi-Car Liability Requirements in Vermont
Vermont requires every vehicle on a multi-car policy to carry $25,000 bodily injury per person, $50,000 bodily injury per accident, and $10,000 property damage, plus personal injury protection and uninsured motorist coverage. The state operates under a fault system, meaning the at-fault driver's liability coverage pays for the other party's damages. The multi-car discount typically requires every vehicle on the same policy with the same garaging address.

What Affects Your Rate
- Vermont's 25/50/10 liability minimum plus required PIP and uninsured motorist coverage sets the floor each vehicle on a multi-car policy must carry.
- The multi-car discount typically requires every vehicle on the same policy with the same garaging address; how the vehicles are titled can affect the discount amount.
- Each vehicle on a Vermont multi-car policy can carry its own level of physical-damage coverage—liability only, or liability plus collision and comprehensive—while the whole policy earns the discount.
- Vermont's 11.8% uninsured motorist rate means UM coverage on every vehicle is critical for multi-car households.
- Adding a vehicle mid-term re-rates the entire policy rather than adding a flat amount, so the multi-car discount applies to the new total.
- Vermont's 0.96 traffic fatalities per 100 million vehicle miles traveled and 26% alcohol-impaired fatality rate shape how carriers price multi-car policies in the state.

A multi-car policy puts two or more owned vehicles on a single policy, and each vehicle can carry its own level of coverage while the whole policy earns the multi-car discount. The discount typically requires every vehicle on the same policy with the same garaging address.
Adding a Vehicle to Your Policy
When you add a vehicle to an existing Vermont multi-car policy, the carrier re-rates the entire policy with the new vehicle included. The multi-car discount applies to the new total, not just the added vehicle.
Liability Coverage Per Vehicle
Every vehicle on a Vermont multi-car policy must carry at least 25/50/10 liability plus PIP and uninsured motorist coverage. Each vehicle can carry higher liability limits while the whole policy earns the multi-car discount.
Uninsured Motorist Coverage
Vermont requires uninsured motorist coverage on every vehicle, including all vehicles on a multi-car policy. UM coverage protects you when an at-fault driver has no insurance.
