The state's standard liability coverage requirements are 25/50/25. That is $25,000 per individual for bodily injuries you cause to the other persons, and up to $50,000 for all, and $25,000 for damage you cause to the other party's personal property. Rhode Island auto insurance laws also require that all drivers carry uninsured motorist coverage.

Many states now also use credit as a rating tool and having good credit can mean a lower rate.
