Although I do have health insurance there is some risk to keeping minimum liability. When I get a real job after college, and a car thats not over ten years old :) I will probably look at larger coverage. I heard someone else mention Costco to me too but I don't have a membership there. Might be a good option for those that don't qualify for USAA. Good point.

Unfortunately, it is only avaialbe in California and Oregon, and you need an excellent driving record. Also, I agree with Kevin;s comments, since extra liability coverage does not cost too much. I carry 250k/500k/100k (per person / per occurance / property) Wawanesa Insurance is another company that has rates sigificantly lower than most others.

Most minimum liability won't cover any kind of hospital stay for injuries that lasts more than a couple of days. It's not always some stranger that might be victim of you having too little coverage. Could be a friend or relative riding as a passenger in your car. Last time I checked around for auto insurance, all gave me higher rates than I was already paying, or equal, except one which was substantially lower. That was Costco. Costco is partnered with a subsidiary of Amex. They were quoting me $500 less a year for equal coverage. Unfortunately, I do not qualify for USAA. Minimum liability insurance is not a good idea.
