Overview
The State self insurance program administered by the Department of Administrative Services (DOAS) provides optional physical damage including, collision and comprehensive (e.g. fire, theft, vandalism, windstorm, etc.) coverage.
All vehicles assigned to the Institute must be insured by the departments for physical damage coverage. DOAS will provide this coverage through the state self-insurance program at a rate of $1.00 per $100 of vehicle cost/market value, subject to a $25 minimum premium, per vehicle.
