Questions Richmond-area drivers ask us most often.
As of July 1, 2025, Virginia requires minimum liability coverage of 50/100/25: $50,000 bodily injury per person, $100,000 bodily injury per accident, and $25,000 property damage liability. These minimums were raised from 30/60/20 under House Bill 1077, effective July 1, 2025 (Code of Virginia Section 38.2-2204). Virginia is an at-fault state, meaning the driver who causes an accident is responsible for the other party's damages through their liability coverage.
Yes. Virginia raised its minimum liability limits on July 1, 2025, from 30/60/20 to 50/100/25 under House Bill 1077. If you bought your policy before that date, it should have been updated to the new minimums at your next renewal. Richmond drivers who have not renewed since mid-2025 should confirm their policy reflects the current 50/100/25 requirement. We can review your declarations page and confirm you are compliant at no cost.
Car insurance costs in Richmond depend on your ZIP code, driving record, vehicle, and coverage limits, and rates can shift with Virginia's 2025 increase in minimum required limits. As an independent broker, we compare 30+ carriers including Progressive, Safeco, and Liberty Mutual to find Richmond, Henrico, and Chesterfield drivers the most competitive rate for their specific profile.
Virginia is an at-fault state. The driver who causes an accident is responsible for the other party's property damage and medical expenses through their liability coverage. Virginia does not require Personal Injury Protection (PIP). Uninsured motorist coverage is required on every Virginia auto policy at the same limits as your liability coverage (Code of Virginia Section 38.2-2206).
Often yes. An independent agent compares multiple carriers for your specific driver profile rather than quoting only one company. Dragon Insurance compares 30+ carriers in one call, including Progressive, Safeco, Liberty Mutual, and The General. For Richmond, Henrico, and Chesterfield drivers who have not shopped their policy since Virginia's 2025 minimum increase, running that comparison is usually where the biggest difference shows up.
Yes. Non-standard carriers like The General specialize in coverage for Richmond-area drivers with a DUI history, multiple violations, or a prior coverage lapse. We also handle SR-22 filings for Virginia license reinstatement. Rates will be higher than a clean-record policy, but coverage is available, and comparing carriers still makes a meaningful difference.
Yes. Virginia requires every registered vehicle to carry liability insurance meeting the state minimum, and the DMV verifies coverage electronically through insurers. Driving without insurance or letting your policy lapse can result in registration suspension, fines, and reinstatement fees. Maintaining continuous coverage avoids these penalties entirely.
Dragon Insurance can typically have a quote ready and coverage bound the same day for most standard passenger vehicles in Richmond, Henrico, Chesterfield, and the surrounding metro. Call 717-229-5115 and have your driver's license, vehicle VIN, and current insurance information ready. For non-standard risks, turnaround is usually 1 business day.
