Frequently Asked Questions
Do Missouri insurance companies drop drivers at a certain age?
Some Missouri carriers implement automatic non-renewal policies at age 80 or 85, though state law does not require disclosure of these age thresholds in policy documents. When a carrier non-renews your policy based on age, you receive written notice 30–60 days before the policy end date, at which point you must find coverage through a non-standard carrier or Missouri's assigned risk plan. Not all carriers impose age-based non-renewal — some regional and specialty insurers write drivers into their 90s without automatic cutoffs.
Can I reject uninsured motorist coverage in Missouri to lower my premium?
Missouri law requires carriers to offer uninsured motorist coverage at the same limits as your liability coverage, and the coverage is automatically included unless you reject it in writing on a signed form at policy inception. Verbal rejection or later rejection does not satisfy Missouri law — the rejection must occur when you first purchase the policy. Many carriers refuse to process written rejections for drivers over 75 due to the elevated financial risk of being struck by an uninsured driver without this protection.
Coverage Types
Liability Insurance
Missouri's 25/50/25 minimum liability requirement is the legal floor, but most carriers writing drivers over 75 require higher limits as a condition of coverage. The gap between the state minimum and what insurers will actually write creates a practical minimum that's significantly higher.
Uninsured Motorist Coverage
Missouri automatically includes this at the same limits as your liability coverage unless you reject it in writing at policy inception. Verbal rejection doesn't satisfy Missouri law — the rejection must be documented on a signed form, and many carriers refuse to process rejections for drivers over 75.
Comprehensive Coverage
Covers non-collision damage including theft, vandalism, hail, flooding, and animal strikes. In Missouri, deer collisions are common in rural counties, and comprehensive is the only coverage that pays for this damage — collision coverage does not apply to animal strikes.
Full Coverage
Combines liability, uninsured motorist, comprehensive, and collision with lower deductibles. For drivers over 75, full coverage makes financial sense only if your vehicle is worth more than three times your annual premium — a threshold that shifts as vehicles depreciate and age-based rates increase.
