About Maryland Automobile Insurance Fund

Headquartered in Annapolis, Maryland, the Maryland Automobile Insurance Fund (MAIF) was created by the Maryland State Legislature in 1972 for the purpose of providing automobile liability insurance for those residents of the State of Maryland who are unable to obtain it elsewhere in the private insurance market. MAIF is an independent agency of the State of Maryland, and as such, maintains direct relations with the Governor’s office and the Maryland State Legislature. Rules governing MAIF are set out by law in Title 20 of the Insurance Article of the Annotated Code of Maryland. MAIF receives no State funds, as all operating funds are achieved from the insurance premiums written with MAIF.
