Auto Insurance
-
Auto insurance is a contract between you and an insurance company that provides financial protection in the event of a car accident, theft, or other vehicle-related damages. It helps cover repair costs, medical expenses, and liability if you’re responsible for injuries or damage to others. Most states require a minimum level of auto insurance to drive legally, and coverage options can include liability, collision, comprehensive, uninsured motorist, and more—customized to fit your driving needs and budget.

An auto insurance policy typically offers the following types of coverage:
Liability Coverage
Bodily Injury Liability: Covers medical expenses for injuries you cause to others.
Property Damage Liability: Covers damage you cause to another person’s property, like their vehicle or fence.
Collision Coverage
Pays for damage to your vehicle from a collision, regardless of who’s at fault.
Comprehensive Coverage
Covers non-collision-related incidents such as theft, vandalism, fire, weather damage, or hitting an animal.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage
Covers your expenses if you’re hit by a driver who has no insurance or not enough insurance.
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) / Medical Payments
Covers medical expenses for you and your passengers, regardless of fault. PIP may also cover lost wages and other related costs.
Roadside Assistance (optional)
Covers services like towing, battery jump-start, flat tire change, and lockout assistance.
Rental Reimbursement (optional)
Pays for a rental car while your vehicle is being repaired due to a covered claim.
Coverage options can vary by state and insurer, and many policies allow customization based on your needs and budget.
