Drive Confidently, Drive Protected
Auto insurance keeps you, your passengers, and your vehicle safe on the road.
Why Auto Insurance Matters
Required by law in most states.
Covers damages from accidents, theft, and natural disasters.
Protects against liability claims.
Peace of mind every time you drive.
What’s Covered
Liability coverage: Bodily injury and property damage to others.
Collision coverage: Repairs to your vehicle after an accident.
Comprehensive coverage: Theft, fire, vandalism, weather damage.
Medical payments: Medical expenses for you and passengers.
Uninsured/underinsured motorist: Protection if the other driver lacks coverage.
How Much Coverage Do I need?
Most drivers should carry at least $100,000 per person / $300,000 per accident for bodily injury liability and $100,000 for property damage liability. If you have significant assets, you may want higher limits or an umbrella policy.
How to Decide Your Coverage Amount
Check State Minimums
California, for example, requires only $15K/$30K/$5K, which is far too low for real-world accidents.
Assess Your Assets
If you own a home, have savings, or high income, choose higher liability limits to protect against lawsuits.
Consider Vehicle Value
New or financed cars → collision & comprehensive coverage.
Older cars → liability-only may suffice if repair costs exceed car value.
Factor in Risk Exposure
Long commutes, teen drivers, or high-traffic areas increase the need for stronger coverage.
