How Much Is Auto Insurance in New Jersey?

Car insurance costs vary from person to person based on a number of factors, such as your driving history and your vehicle’s age, make/model, and usage. Of course, the coverage you choose will also impact how much you pay. We’ll work with you to create a policy that meets your needs.

Who Needs Auto Insurance?

If you own a car in New Jersey, auto insurance is legally required. Aside from that, having coverage you can count on is worth the peace of mind. Our team of representatives will work with you to ensure that you can drive with confidence.

What Can Auto Insurance Cover in New Jersey?

Liability

Pays for damage to others accidentally caused by you as a result of an auto accident. It also pays for a lawyer to defend you if you are sued for damages.

Collision

Pays, above your chosen deductible, for damage to your vehicle resulting from your vehicle’s impact with another vehicle or object.

Underinsured and Uninsured Motorist

Provides protection if you are injured in an accident caused by a motorist with too little or no insurance coverage. Your Right to Sue choice may affect whether you can recover for some bodily injuries. This coverage also may pay for your property damage caused by a motorist with too little insurance.

Other than Collision (Comprehensive)

Pays, above your chosen deductible, for damage to your vehicle that is not the result of a collision with another car or object. Causes of damage might include theft, vandalism, flooding, fire, a broken windshield, or collision with an animal.

Auto Insurance Guidance

New Jersey No-Fault Insurance

New Jersey is considered a no-fault insurance state. This means that if you, or an individual covered by your policy, is injured in an auto accident, your policy pays for reasonable and necessary medical expenses (up to your chosen limit), regardless of who caused the accident. Personal Injury Protection (PIP) has two parts:

Medical Expenses

Coverage for the cost of treatment you receive from hospitals, doctors and other medical providers and any medical equipment that may be prescribed to treat your injuries.

Optional Coverages for Non-Medical Benefits

Reimbursement for certain other expenses you may incur, such as lost wages and the need to hire someone to take care of your home or family.

When you apply for an auto insurance policy, we will ask if you want “Health Insurance Primary.” Read our FAQs about PIP Health Insurance Primary to learn about this option.

Dividends

New Jersey policyholders are eligible to receive dividends, which reduce the overall cost of auto and home insurance.

Dividends amount to a percentage of the premium you paid on your prior year’s policy. New Jersey policyholders with NJM Auto, Homeowners, Condo, or Renters Insurance receive a dividend that is applied as a credit to the policy premium when the policy renews the following year.

New Jersey policyholders with NJM Auto Insurance may also receive a second dividend, known as a “special dividend,” which comes in the form of a check.
