Car insurance rules in New Mexico

New Mexico requires drivers to carry at least $25,000 of bodily injury liability per person, $50,000 per accident and $10,000 of property damage liability, often written 25/50/10.

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