What is the Uninsured Motorist Fee in South Carolina?

South Carolina allows drivers to pay a $600 fee to the DMV to drive legally without liability insurance. This creates a risk for everyone else on the road. If you are hit by someone who paid this fee, they have no insurance coverage to offer you. This is why carrying your own Uninsured Motorist (UM) coverage is one of the smartest financial decisions you can make.
