Maryland Multi-Car Liability Requirements
Maryland requires every vehicle on a multi-car policy to carry $30,000 bodily injury per person, $60,000 bodily injury per accident, and $15,000 property damage liability, plus personal injury protection (PIP) and uninsured motorist coverage. The multi-car discount applies when two or more vehicles sit on the same policy, typically requiring the same garaging address. Maryland is an at-fault state, so the at-fault driver's liability coverage pays for injuries and damage to others.

Multi-car costs in Maryland depend on the vehicles you insure, the drivers on the policy, the coverage selected per vehicle, and the multi-car discount. Maryland's average annual auto insurance expenditure per insured vehicle was $856.28 in 2023, and combining vehicles on one policy earns the discount while each vehicle can carry its own level of collision and comprehensive coverage.
What Affects Your Rate
- Maryland's $30,000/$60,000/$15,000 liability minimum plus required PIP and uninsured motorist coverage sets the floor for every vehicle on a multi-car policy.
- The multi-car discount in Maryland typically requires every vehicle on the same policy and the same garaging address; how the vehicles are titled can affect whether the discount applies.
- Maryland's 16.9% uninsured motorist rate as of 2023 makes uninsured motorist coverage required on every vehicle, and the multi-car discount applies to the combined policy.
- Adding a third vehicle to a Maryland multi-car policy re-rates the entire policy and increases the multi-car discount, rather than adding a flat amount per vehicle.
- Each vehicle on a Maryland multi-car policy can carry liability only or add collision and comprehensive separately; the multi-car discount applies to the whole policy regardless of which vehicles carry physical-damage coverage.
- Maryland's motor vehicle theft rate of 415.6 per 100,000 population in 2024 affects comprehensive coverage cost per vehicle, and each vehicle on a multi-car policy has its own comprehensive deductible.

Multi-Car Policy Structure
A multi-car policy covers two or more vehicles on one policy, with each vehicle carrying its own level of coverage and the whole policy earning the multi-car discount. Each vehicle must carry Maryland's liability minimum, and the discount typically requires the same garaging address.
Liability Coverage Per Vehicle
Every vehicle on a Maryland multi-car policy must carry at least $30,000/$60,000/$15,000 liability, and each vehicle can carry higher limits separately. The multi-car discount applies to the combined policy regardless of which vehicles carry higher limits.
Full Coverage on Select Vehicles
Full coverage adds collision and comprehensive to the state's required liability, PIP, and uninsured motorist coverage. On a multi-car policy, you can add full coverage to one vehicle while leaving another at liability only, and the whole policy earns the multi-car discount.
Uninsured Motorist Coverage
Maryland requires uninsured motorist coverage on every vehicle on a multi-car policy. This coverage pays when an at-fault driver has no insurance, and with 16.9% of Maryland motorists uninsured as of 2023, it protects every vehicle on your policy.
Adding a Vehicle Mid-Term
Adding a vehicle to an existing Maryland multi-car policy re-rates the entire policy rather than adding a flat amount. The multi-car discount adjusts to reflect the new vehicle count, and the new vehicle must carry Maryland's liability minimum plus required PIP and uninsured motorist coverage.
