Required Auto Insurance in Mississippi

Mississippi requires all drivers to have liability insurance for both property damage and bodily injury, which pays for any damage or injuries caused by an accident in which you were at fault. Mississippi requires the following minimum liability coverage:

  • Bodily Injury: $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident.

Mississippi Teen Driving Laws

Mississippi operates under a Graduated Driver's License (GDL) program, which includes three stages: Learner's Permit, Intermediate License, and Full Driver's License. 

  • Learner's Permit: At 15, Mississippi teens can obtain a learner's permit after passing a vision test and knowledge exam. A learner's permit allows teens to drive with a parent, legal guardian, licensed driver over 21, or a certified driving instructor. 
  • Intermediate License: At 16, teen drivers may apply for their intermediate license after passing a road skills exam. With an intermediate license, teens cannot drive unsupervised between 10:00 PM and 6:00 AM.
  • Full License: After holding an intermediate license for 6 months without any violations, drivers may obtain their full, unrestricted license.

Please be aware of additional restrictions for teen drivers in Mississippi.
