Minimum Coverage Requirements in Wyoming

Wyoming requires minimum liability coverage of 25/50/20 — $25,000 per person for bodily injury, $50,000 per accident, and $20,000 for property damage. Drivers with DUI convictions, at-fault uninsured accidents, repeated violations, or license suspensions typically must file SR-22 proof of financial responsibility with the Wyoming Department of Transportation for 3 years. High-risk drivers often need coverage beyond state minimums to access non-standard carrier markets and avoid out-of-pocket exposure after another incident.

Liability Insurance
Wyoming law requires 25/50/20 liability minimums, but these limits are low for drivers with SR-22 requirements. A serious at-fault accident can generate injury claims exceeding $25,000 per person, leaving the at-fault driver personally liable for the remainder. Non-standard carriers in Wyoming often require 50/100/50 or higher limits to write high-risk policies, and higher limits reduce exposure if another violation occurs during the SR-22 period.

SR-22 Insurance
SR-22 is not a separate insurance policy — it is a state-mandated filing your insurer submits to the Wyoming Department of Transportation proving you carry at least minimum liability coverage. Filing costs $15–$35 with most carriers, but the underlying high-risk policy premium is what drives total cost. Not all insurers offer SR-22 filing; drivers typically work with non-standard carriers experienced in high-risk profiles to maintain continuous proof during the 3-year requirement period.
Not required by law
Full Coverage
Full coverage — liability plus collision and comprehensive — is not required by Wyoming law but is mandatory if you finance or lease a vehicle. For high-risk drivers, full coverage premiums can reach $400–$600/mo depending on violation severity and vehicle value. Dropping to liability-only after a loan is paid off can reduce monthly costs by 30–50%, but leaves you without protection for your own vehicle after an at-fault accident or theft.
Must be offered; may reject in writing
Uninsured Motorist Coverage
Wyoming insurers must offer uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage, though drivers can reject it in writing. Approximately 7% of Wyoming drivers are uninsured, and rural areas have higher rates of uninsured motorists. For high-risk drivers already paying elevated premiums, adding UM/UIM coverage typically costs $10–$25/mo and protects you if an uninsured driver causes an accident, preventing out-of-pocket medical and repair costs that could compound financial strain during an SR-22 period.
Varies by carrier
Non-Standard Auto Insurance
Non-standard carriers specialize in high-risk drivers who cannot access standard market rates due to DUIs, suspensions, or multiple violations. These carriers write policies in Wyoming for drivers with SR-22 requirements and recent major violations, with premiums typically 60–150% higher than standard market rates. Non-standard insurers may require higher liability limits, larger down payments, and monthly payment plans, but they provide the coverage needed to reinstate a license and fulfill SR-22 filing obligations.

How Much Does Car Insurance Cost in Wyoming?

High-risk auto insurance premiums in Wyoming vary widely based on violation type, age, location, and driving history. Drivers with a single DUI typically pay $220–$400/mo, while those with multiple violations or a combination of DUI and at-fault accidents can exceed $450/mo. Wyoming's rural roads and lower population density result in fewer accidents than urban states, but high-risk drivers still face significant rate increases due to non-standard carrier underwriting and SR-22 filing requirements.

What Affects Your Rate

  • Violation type and severity — DUI increases premiums 80–150%, while reckless driving adds 40–90%
  • Time since violation — rates begin to decrease 12–24 months after SR-22 filing if no new incidents occur
  • Age and experience — drivers under 25 with high-risk violations pay 20–40% more than older drivers with similar records
  • Location within Wyoming — Cheyenne and Casper have higher premiums than rural counties due to traffic density and claim frequency
  • Coverage level and deductible — choosing a $1,000 deductible over $500 can reduce full coverage premiums by 10–15%
  • Number of violations — a second DUI or combination of DUI and at-fault accident can double premiums compared to a single offense
Minimum Liability
$180–$300/mo
State minimum 25/50/20 liability with SR-22 filing for a driver with one DUI or major violation. Lowest legal coverage option but offers no protection for your own vehicle and may not meet non-standard carrier minimum requirements.
Standard Liability
$220–$380/mo
Increased liability limits such as 50/100/50 or 100/300/100 with SR-22 filing. Recommended for high-risk drivers to reduce personal exposure and meet non-standard carrier underwriting guidelines.
Full Coverage
$320–$550/mo
Liability plus collision and comprehensive for financed or leased vehicles, or drivers protecting vehicle value. Highest cost but necessary if lender requires it or if you cannot afford to replace your vehicle out-of-pocket after another incident.
