Minimum Coverage Requirements in Nevada

Nevada operates as a tort-based liability state, meaning the at-fault driver's insurance pays for damages after an accident. All drivers must carry proof of insurance at all times, and Nevada law requires electronic reporting of all policies to the Nevada Department of Motor Vehicles. Drivers 75 and older face the same minimum coverage requirements as all Nevada drivers, but certain carriers have internal underwriting age caps that trigger non-renewal notices between ages 80 and 85.

Bodily Injury Liability

Covers medical bills and lost wages for people you injure in an at-fault accident. Drivers 75 and older should consider 100/300 limits, as a serious accident can expose retirement assets if you carry only the state minimum.

Property Damage Liability

Pays for damage to another person's vehicle or property after an at-fault accident. If you own your home or have significant savings, higher limits protect assets from lawsuit judgments.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage

Nevada does not require uninsured motorist coverage, but it must be offered at policy inception — you must reject it in writing, or the carrier automatically adds it at your liability limits. For drivers 75 and older, this coverage is essential: if you're injured by an uninsured driver, your own UM coverage pays your medical bills and lost income. Nevada has one of the higher uninsured driver rates in the West, particularly in rural counties.

Comprehensive Coverage

Covers theft, vandalism, hail, animal strikes, and other non-collision damage to your vehicle. Not required by Nevada law unless you have a loan or lease. Las Vegas has higher theft rates than Reno or Carson City, which affects premiums.

Collision Coverage

Pays to repair your own vehicle after a collision, regardless of fault. Not required by Nevada unless financing.

Frequently Asked Questions

At what age do Nevada insurance companies stop renewing policies?

Most major carriers in Nevada do not have a fixed age cutoff, but underwriting scrutiny increases significantly at age 80. Some carriers begin non-renewing policies between ages 80 and 85 if the driver has any claims or violations in the prior 3 years, even minor ones. If you receive a non-renewal notice, you typically have 30–60 days to find replacement coverage before the policy lapses.

Does Nevada require a driving test for seniors renewing their license?

Nevada does not require a road test based solely on age. Drivers renew every 4 or 8 years depending on their license type, and renewal can be completed online or by mail through age 70. After age 70, in-person renewal is required, but a driving test is administered only if the Nevada DMV receives a medical report or traffic violation suggesting impairment.
