Car insurance rules in South Dakota

South Dakota requires drivers to carry at least $25,000 of bodily injury liability per person, $50,000 per accident and $25,000 of property damage liability, often written 25/50/25. It also requires uninsured motorist coverage ($25,000 per person, $50,000 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.

Insurance agencies in Watertown

Browse the agencies on this page, search by name, or pick the insurance you need in the filters to see only the agencies that offer it.

Do I need flood insurance in Watertown?

FEMA's National Risk Index rates inland flooding risk in Codington County as Relatively Low compared with other U.S. counties. Most home and renters policies do not cover flood damage. Flood cover is a separate policy, from the National Flood Insurance Program or a private insurer, and an NFIP policy usually starts 30 days after you buy it.

Do I need renters insurance in Watertown?

34.7% of households in Watertown 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.

How do I choose an agency?

Call two or three. Ask which companies they can quote for you, how they handle claims, and who you will deal with after you buy. An independent agency can compare several insurers in one call.
