Minimum Car Insurance Requirements in Tennessee

All motor vehicles operated or parked on Tennessee roadways are required to be insured. Proof of insurance must be carried in your car at all times and must be available when:

  • Requested by law enforcement

  • Renewing vehicle registration

  • The vehicle is involved in a car accident

The minimum liability insurance requirements for private passenger vehicles in Tennessee[1] are:

  • $25,000 per person for bodily injury

  • $50,000 per accident for bodily injury

As a major part of your liability insurance, bodily injury coverage covers medical bills for people other than the policyholder who are injured during an accident. Tennessee is an at-fault state, meaning the driver who is responsible for the collision is also responsible for paying for any resulting expenses, either through their car insurance provider or out of pocket.

  • $15,000 per accident for property damage

If it’s determined that an insured driver is at fault for an accident, this coverage pays for repairs to the property of the other involved parties. Additionally, property damage coverage can cover legal costs if the insured driver is involved in a lawsuit following the accident.

Clarksville Car Insurance Rates by Driver Age

Age is everything when it comes to setting car insurance prices in Tennessee’s Top Spot. As you can see in the table below, younger Clarksville motorists pay more to insure their ride than older drivers do. Why? Because statistically speaking, they are at a greater risk of having an accident or making a claim. At $301, teen drivers pay nearly three times as much for car insurance as those in their 70s. With age comes experience, however. By the time they reach their 20s, young drivers’ insurance rates drop 63 percent to $185.

Clarksville Car Insurance Rates by Driving and Accident History

Most motorists recognize the strong ties between insurance rates and driving behavior. This is because the way you behave on the road (whether you take risks or play it safe) helps insurance companies predict the likelihood of you making a claim. While motorists without any offenses on their driving record pay the least for insurance in Clarksville, at $185, insurance rates increase according to the mistakes you make. Speeding, causing an accident and failing to stop cost drivers increased rates of $201, $217, and $214, respectively.

Clarksville Car Insurance Rates by Credit Tier

Setting insurance rates is all about understanding an individual’s risk. How likely is it that the motorist will make an insurance claim? One way insurance companies uncover risk is by considering a person’s credit score. While it might not seem related to the road, how a person manages their money speaks volumes to whether they are considered a good or bad risk. Pay your bills on time? Good risk. Have a bankruptcy on record? Bad risk. In Clarksville, drivers with an average credit score can expect to pay $200 for their car insurance monthly, while premiums for drivers with excellent credit scores average out to $178.
