At the very bare minimum, you likely will need to have bodily injury liability coverage as well as property damage liability coverage. The amounts of coverage themselves can vary once again however you must at least have some.
After that, in some states or regions you will also need to have minimum amounts of personal injury protection as well as uninsured motorist coverage.
