We will fulfill a long-standing promise to dedicate one-third of current insurance premium tax proceeds to transportation, and increase the auto insurance premium fee by 2.25%. Virginia is currently the 41st lowest state in the nation in terms of average auto insurance premiums, and the fee increase will add only $18 to the cost of a policy for a typical Virginia driver.
Since the heaviest passenger vehicles cause the most wear and tear on our roads, the plan shifts to weight-based registration fees. Owners of the heaviest passenger vehicles would see a maximum increase of $13 a year in their registration fees. This fee would not apply to tractor-trailer trucks.
