Auto insurance rates in Utah are considerably lower than the national average. Of course, the average rates shown above should just give you a general idea of what your costs might be. Actual rates vary significantly from one person to the next. When calculating the cost of your Provo car insurance premiums, insurance companies will consider such things as these:

• The make, model, year and safety features of the vehicle(s) you wish to insure
• The location of your home, or ZIP code, and where you park your car: the street, a driveway or a garage
• The age, sex, marital status and driving record of all licensed drivers in your household
• The history of claims on your home, i.e., your claims history
• The amount of coverage you wish to purchase
• The amount of your deductible

Every insurance company has its own way of determining risk and calculating rates, so comparison shopping puts you at an advantage by allowing you to choose the policy that offers the best value for your money.

Utah Car Insurance Requirements

• Bodily injury liability: required
• Property damage liability: required
• Personal injury protection (PIP): required
• Uninsured motorist coverage: not required
• Minimum liability limits: 25/65/15; Coverage up to $65,000 for all persons injured in an accident, subject to a limit of $25,000 for one individual, and $15,000 coverage for property damage

The state of Utah requires drivers to carry auto insurance coverage that meets or exceeds these state-mandated minimums. These minimums are meant to provide you with suitable financial protection if you are responsible for a collision. Serious accidents that involve significant injuries that require extensive or long-term medical care can easily exceed these coverage limits, so you may want to purchase higher liability limits in order to protect assets such as your home.

Number of Uninsured Motorists in Utah

• Number of uninsured U.S. drivers: 12.6%
• Number of uninsured Utah drivers: 5.80%

Driving without insurance in Utah is a Class B misdemeanor, and it has consequences. If you are caught, you will face a fine of no less than $400 for your first offense and no less than $1,000 future offenses if they occur within three years of the previous. Furthermore, your license can be suspended and you will not be able to get it back until you provide proof of insurance and pay a reinstatement fee.

If an uninsured or a hit-and-run driver is responsible for a collision that causes property damage or injuries to you or your passengers, you may find it extremely difficult, if not impossible, to collect reimbursement for your losses. Unless, that is, your Provo auto insurance policy includes uninsured motorist coverage. In this case, your insurance company provides the necessary compensation and then attempts to collect funds from the offending driver on its own behalf.

Number of Auto Thefts in Utah

• National number of thefts per 1,000 vehicles: 2.94
• Utah number of thefts per 1,000 vehicles: 3.13

The rate of car theft in the state of Utah is higher than the national average, but the average rate in Provo is lower than the national average. In recent years, there were 108 auto thefts reported in this city. That equates to about 0.92 car thefts per 1,000 vehicles, which is quite low. If your car is stolen or vandalized, your insurance company provides compensation only if your policy includes comprehensive insurance. 

This insurance, which is also referred to as “other than collision” insurance, covers damage caused by such things as theft, vandalism, flying debris, falling objects, floods and other noncollision-related damage. If you are still paying for your vehicle, you likely carry comprehensive insurance already because most lenders require it until the loan is paid in full.
