What is car insurance?
Car insurance is a contract between you and your insurance company – you get the coverage you need in exchange for making premium payments to the insurance company.
Why do I need car insurance?
If you’re in an accident, you may have expenses for car repairs, property damage, medical bills, a rental car, lost wages and more. Insurance keeps those bills from becoming a burden.
What does car insurance cover?
Most auto insurance policies include liability coverage, which helps cover someone else’s bodily injury or property damages when you are determined to be at fault for an accident. Other coverages can help cover the costs of injury to you or a passenger and damage to your auto. To learn more about auto insurance, talk with your insurance representative.
Liability coverage
Most states require auto liability coverage, which can cover you for property damage to someone else’s vehicle and for bodily injury to others if you’re found responsible for an accident.
Roadside assistance
Ever been stranded by a dead battery or a flat tire? Add roadside assistance to your car insurance policy so if unexpected car trouble happens, you can have peace of mind.
Loan or lease gap insurance
Loan or lease gap insurance can help you minimize out-of-pocket costs if your vehicle is totaled and you owe your lender more for it than its cash value. Loan or lease gap insurance can cover the difference, so you don’t have to.
