State Requirements
The state also mandates uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage at the same 25/50 limits unless you decline it in writing. Connecticut's no-fault PIP requirement was repealed in 1993, so medical payments coverage is optional but worth considering for seniors managing Medicare coordination of benefits.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I be dropped from my auto insurance in Connecticut because of my age?
No. Connecticut insurance regulations prohibit carriers from canceling or non-renewing a policy based solely on age. Insurers can only non-renew for legitimate underwriting reasons like multiple at-fault accidents, license suspension, or misrepresentation on your application — age alone is not a valid reason and constitutes age discrimination under state law.
Coverage Types
Liability Insurance
Covers injuries and property damage you cause to others. Connecticut's 25/50/25 minimums are dangerously low for senior drivers with retirement assets, home equity, or savings that could be claimed in a lawsuit after a serious at-fault accident.
Uninsured Motorist Coverage
Protects you when hit by a driver with no insurance or insufficient coverage to pay for your injuries and vehicle damage. Connecticut mandates this coverage at 25/50 limits unless you decline it in writing.
Comprehensive Coverage
Covers theft, vandalism, weather damage, and animal collisions — deer strikes are common across Connecticut's rural areas and suburban corridors. Apply the 10% rule: if your annual premium plus deductible exceeds 10% of your vehicle's value, this coverage may not be cost-justified.
Collision Coverage
Pays to repair your vehicle after an at-fault accident, minus your deductible. This becomes the most expensive optional coverage and the first senior drivers should evaluate dropping on older, paid-off vehicles.
Medical Payments Coverage
Pays medical expenses for you and your passengers after an accident regardless of fault. Connecticut repealed its no-fault PIP requirement in 1993, making MedPay entirely optional.
Full Coverage Package
Combines liability, comprehensive, collision, uninsured motorist, and medical payments into complete protection. This makes sense for newer vehicles with loans or leases, but senior drivers with paid-off older vehicles should evaluate each component separately.
