Every US state except New Hampshire requires at least liability insurance. Minimum limits vary: most states require at least $25,000/$50,000 bodily injury and $25,000 property damage (25/50/25). These minimums are often insufficient — standard coverage is recommended.
A DUI typically raises rates for 3–7 years, depending on state. In the first year, expect premiums to double or triple. After the DUI drops off your record, rates return to normal — compare quotes annually to find the best rate.

Compare quotes annually, improve your credit score, raise your deductible, complete a defensive driving course, bundle auto + home, install a telematics device, reduce mileage, and ask about all available discounts (good student, military, loyalty).
