Car insurance rules in Maine

Maine requires drivers to carry at least $50,000 of bodily injury liability per person, $100,000 per accident and $25,000 of property damage liability, often written 50/100/25. It also requires medical payments coverage ($2,000) and uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage ($50,000 per person, $100,000 per accident).

These are legal minimums, not a recommendation: a serious crash can cost far more, and anything above your limits is yours to pay.

FEMA's National Risk Index rates coastal flooding risk in Cumberland County as Relatively Moderate compared with other U.S. counties. Most home and renters policies do not cover flood damage.

Do I need renters insurance in South Portland?

41.9% of households in South Portland rent, according to the Census Bureau's American Community Survey. A landlord's policy covers the building, not your belongings or your liability; renters insurance covers those.
