Personal Insurance

Auto Insurance

Liability, collision and comprehensive cover for the cars on your driveway.

What this cover does

Auto cover does two jobs at once: it pays for harm you cause to other people and their property, and it repairs or replaces your own vehicle. Every state sets its own minimum liability limits, and those minimums are almost always lower than what a serious accident actually costs.

Typically included

  • Bodily injury and property damage liability
  • Collision damage to your own vehicle
  • Comprehensive — theft, fire, hail, flood, falling objects, animal strikes
  • Uninsured and underinsured motorist cover
  • Medical payments or personal injury protection, depending on the state

Common add-ons

  • New-car replacement in the first model year
  • Gap cover where you owe more than the car is worth
  • Rental reimbursement while yours is in the shop
  • Roadside assistance and towing
  • Rideshare cover if you drive for a platform
  • Accident forgiveness on a clean record

Questions

What people ask about auto

Is the state minimum enough?

Rarely. State minimums are a floor set decades ago in many cases. A single hospital stay can exhaust a 25,000 dollar bodily-injury limit in days, and anything above the limit comes out of your own assets. We quote the minimum so you can see it, then show what higher limits cost.

Does my policy cover someone else driving my car?

Usually yes — cover generally follows the vehicle for a licensed driver you gave permission to. Regular drivers in your household should be listed on the policy rather than relying on permissive use.

What happens to my premium after a claim?

It depends on fault, claim type and your record. A comprehensive claim such as hail damage is treated differently from an at-fault collision. We tell you the likely effect before you file.
