How it works
Traditional auto insurance companies base your rate on demographics, details like your age, ZIP code, marital status, and other factors that have nothing to do with your driving habits. Root bases your insurance rate primarily on how you drive because it’s the fair way to price car insurance.

State requirements for Missouri car insurance
What are the minimum auto insurance requirements in MO?
To legally operate a vehicle in Missouri, you must carry Liability insurance and Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage. If you’re found driving without insurance, you can face points on your driving record and suspension of your driver’s license.

Liability coverage helps to pay for property damage or bodily injuries that occur from a car accident you cause. It does not cover harm to you or your passengers (that’s what Medical Payments or Personal Injury Protection coverages are for) or your vehicle (but Collision and Comprehensive coverages do). These additional coverages can help you avoid serious expenses in the event of a major accident.
