According to the Arizona Motor Vehicle Division (MVD) states that AZ requires that every motor vehicle operated on our roadways be covered by one of the statutory forms of financial responsibility, more commonly called liability insurance, through a company that is authorized to do business in Arizona. This includes golf carts, motorcycles and mopeds.
Minimum levels of financial responsibility for Arizona are: $15,000 bodily injury liability for one person and $30,000 for two or more persons and $10,000 property damage liability.This is commonly referred to as 15/30/10.
