Car-insurance requirements in Alabama (2026)
Alabama sits at 25/50/25 in the usual shorthand. Its insurance department once published a per-company premium comparison, and the whole departmental domain has been unreachable from every route tried during this build, so no Alabama premium data is published here.

Source of record: the legislature’s own statute text, corroborated against the state insurance department or motor-vehicle agency. Verification status: primary text confirmed.
How old is this minimum?
Our committed statutory record for Alabama does not carry the date its current limits took effect, so no real-terms restatement is shown. We will not deflate from a year we have not read in the statute or its enacting bill. The limits themselves are confirmed against primary text; only the commencement date is missing.
What the property-damage minimum leaves exposed
A $42,000 property-damage claim against Alabama’s minimum of $25,000 leaves $17,000 above the limit. That difference is the at-fault driver’s own exposure. The claim figure is an illustration; the limit is the statute.

Premium data for Alabama
No regulator-published premium data exists for Alabama
Alabama’s insurance department does not publish a per-insurer premium comparison, so this site shows no premium figures for Alabama at all. We will not substitute a figure from a quote engine, a trade body or a national aggregate: none of those is a published record of what insurers filed in Alabama.
