Car Insurance

Almost every one of the United States requires that drivers have minimum coverage. This is to ensure that if an accident occurs, the high cost of damage to vehicles, property, and people will be financially covered.

Minimum Coverage
Each state has different minimum coverage requirements. Various websites offer this information. You must comply with the laws of your own state for minimum coverage. If you move to a new state, learn what the minimum for that state is and make sure you are covered.

Car Insurance Rates
Car insurance prices vary drastically and will depend on many factors like age, car cost, type of vehicle, your driving record, where you live, and for what you use your vehicle.

Car Insurance Coverage:

Liability: covers accidental injury to persons or property.

Collision: covers the damages to your own vehicle when hit by another.

Comprehensive: covers damage to your own vehicle by natural elements or persons without a vehicle.

Medical: covers medical expenses caused by an auto accident.

Personal Injury Protection: covers medical expenses for the driver regardless of fault.

Uninsured Motorist: covers your own car when an uninsured driver hits it.

Underinsured Motorist: covers damages to your own car that go beyond what the other driver's insurance covers.

Rental Reimbursement: covers the damage to a rental car from an accident.

Which Type of Car Insurance Coverage is Best?
Liability is what is usually required for minimum coverage. If your own car is only worth $2,000 or under, it may not financially make sense to get Collision, Comprehensive, Uninsured, or Underinsured coverage because after the deductible and all of your monthly payments, it might just be cheaper to get a new car. The more expensive your car is, or if it is a leased vehicle, the more car insurance coverage you ought to have. If you don't have health insurance, getting a comprehensive Medical coverage may be important.
