Delaware car insurance coverage requirements
Delaware drivers have to buy both liability insurance and personal injury protection (PIP) coverage before they can legally drive their car. Minimum coverage requirements in this state include:
-
$25,000 in bodily injury liability per person.
-
$50,000 in bodily injury liability per accident.
-
$25,000 in property damage liability per accident.
-
$15,000 in personal injury protection, or PIP, per person.
-
$30,000 in PIP per accident.
Of course, this is just the absolute minimum required if you want to get behind the wheel. If you want to better protect yourself, your car and your assets, you might consider increasing your coverage limits or buying comprehensive and collision coverage, which many Jerry drivers do. Also keep in mind that nearly 18% of Delaware drivers are uninsured; buying uninsured/underinsured motorist (UIM) protection can give you even greater peace of mind.
Factors affecting Delaware car insurance rates in 2026
Coastal weather
Delaware’s coastal location makes it more vulnerable to flooding, tropical systems, and nor’easters. Comprehensive coverage is often worth keeping, even on older cars, since storm damage can add up fast.
Heavy traffic
Congestion on I-95 plus traffic in and around Wilmington and Newark can raise crash risk and claim frequency. Safe driving helps, and telematics tools like Jerry DriveShield can help good habits translate into lower costs over time.
Uninsured drivers
Roughly 1 in 10 Delaware drivers are uninsured. A smart baseline is to match your uninsured and underinsured motorist limits to your liability limits so you’re covered if the other driver can’t pay.
Modified comparative negligence law
Delaware uses a modified comparative negligence rule, meaning you can recover damages as long as you’re less than 50% at fault. Collision coverage still matters because it helps protect your own car while fault is being determined.
High repair costs and parts delays
Even a minor crash can turn into an expensive claim when labor rates and replacement parts are high. Choosing a deductible you can comfortably pay keeps collision and comprehensive coverage usable when repairs get pricey.
Theft and vandalism risk
In higher-density areas, theft and break-ins can be a factor, especially for vehicles parked on the street or in lots. Comprehensive coverage typically covers theft, and practical steps like locking up, parking in well-lit areas, and not leaving valuables in sight can reduce your risk.
