Virginia Add-On UIM, Reduction Elections, Multiple Policies & Priority
Virginia’s current UIM framework is generally add-on coverage without a credit for available liability insurance unless the named insured makes the statutory reduction election. This guide will address the election, required notice, multiple applicable policies, statutory priority of payment, and practical coordination of benefits.

Current-law review: September 23, 2026. Verify current §38.2-2206 election language, effective dates, priority rules and policy forms before publication.
