Multi-Car Liability Requirements in New Mexico
New Mexico requires every vehicle on a multi-car policy to carry $25,000 bodily injury per person, $50,000 bodily injury per accident, and $10,000 property damage. The state operates under a fault-based system, meaning the at-fault driver's liability coverage pays for the other party's damages. The multi-car discount applies when two or more vehicles sit on the same policy, typically requiring a shared garaging address.

Liability-Only vs. Full Coverage Per Vehicle
