Minimum Coverage Requirements in Massachusetts
Massachusetts operates under a no-fault insurance system, meaning your Personal Injury Protection (PIP) coverage pays your medical bills regardless of who caused the accident. The Massachusetts Division of Insurance requires proof of financial responsibility for all registered vehicles. Drivers 75 and older face the same legal minimums but may encounter carrier-specific age thresholds that trigger non-renewal or underwriting review between ages 78 and 80.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do Massachusetts insurance companies non-renew policies based on age?
Yes — several Massachusetts carriers non-renew policies or require underwriting review at specific age thresholds, typically between 78 and 80. Plymouth Rock, Commerce, and Arbella have been reported to non-renew drivers after age 80 if any claims appear in the prior 3 years. Massachusetts law does not prohibit age-based non-renewal, and the Massachusetts Division of Insurance does not classify it as discriminatory if applied uniformly within an approved rate filing.
Coverage Types
Liability Insurance
Massachusetts's 20/40/5 minimum liability is the lowest property damage limit in New England and does not cover the cost of most accidents involving newer vehicles.
Comprehensive Coverage
Covers non-collision damage including weather, theft, vandalism, and animal strikes. Not required by Massachusetts law but necessary to protect vehicle value.
Uninsured Motorist Coverage
Protects you if hit by a driver with no insurance. Massachusetts automatically includes this coverage unless you reject it in writing at policy inception.
Full Coverage
Combines liability, collision, comprehensive, and uninsured motorist at higher-than-minimum limits. Appropriate for newer vehicles or drivers with assets to protect.
