The Limits You Request Backed by Great Car Insurance Carriers
Going without insurance puts you, others, your driver’s license, and your wallet at risk. By having car insurance, you get a sense of some financial security.
Let’s say you’re involved in an accident (they can happen, and they don’t call them ‘on purposes,’ right?), your policy helps pay for damage you caused to people and their cars. If they’re at fault their liability is to cover you. If you get more than the basic Liability coverage it could even help you pay for your car with comprehensive and collision coverage. Most policies have multiple uses, and you can usually mix and match your coverage to meet your needs. Going without can cause financial hardship by way of lapse fees, reinstatement fees, fines and damages, license suspensions, vehicle impounding, and SR22 requirements. The Nevada DMV will know if your insurance lapses because they have a live system that is updated in real time.
We represent multiple top-name insurance carriers at Solo Insurance®, the policies we provide all contain liability and then the other coverages you want or need: Spacer image
- Liability: Gets you legal and covers the damage you cause others, up to your chosen limits if you are at fault in an accident. All our policies start with Nevada’s mandatory liability insurance (but can certainly be increased to higher limits as needed/desired). Nevada requires a minimum of:
- $25,000 bodily injury liability coverage per person
- $50,000 bodily injury liability coverage per accident
- $20,000 property damage liability coverage per accident
- Uninsured/Under-Insured Motorist: Helps if you collide with an at-fault driver who doesn’t have liability coverage or, in the case of under-insured, enough liability. You can use this coverage from your own policy. We always recommend Uninsured Motorist coverage to our Nevada policies, but you can reject it. Under-Insured Motorist is available with higher than state required coverage.
- Collision: Helps pay for damage to your own car after a wreck, minus deductible.
- Comprehensive: Helps pay for car damage caused by hazards like weather, deer, theft and fire, minus deductible.
- Medical Payments: Med Pay generally pays for medical costs after you are hurt in a car accident, regardless of who is found at fault for the accident, up to the chosen limits. It is excess coverage meaning it cannot be claimed in addition to injuries covered by health insurance (you could end up paying some back).
- Towing & Rental: Optional additional coverage when you choose Comprehensive & Collision. Towing reimbursement helps pay for moving your own car after a wreck. Rental reimbursement helps toward the cost of a replacement vehicle while your car is being repaired. Always consult your claims representative for details on using these coverages.

Is it Worth the Risk to Drive Without Car Insurance in Nevada?
This is for you to decide, but it can be a hassle and costly. Nevada has an electronic verification system for each vehicle registered in Nevada that operates in real time. Going without car insurance is considered a Class C Misdemeanor. Proof of coverage can be requested when pulled over or by mail. Penalties up to $1000 in fines depending how long you’ve been without coverage, vehicle registration suspensions with up to $500 in fees to get your license plates back, SR22 filings for up to 3 years, driver’s license suspension and reinstatement fees once the suspension criteria are met.
