Auto Insurance For Your Car
Whether you drive a sports car or an old pickup truck, it’s likely that the law requires you to purchase auto insurance. But there are many options over and above your state’s mandated minimum insurance. Buying additional coverage could save you money on repair bills or cover a judgment against you in the event of a lawsuit.
Understanding the types of coverage and their benefits may help you decide what sort of package you need for your own auto policy. And it could also help you compare the offerings of competing insurance carriers. The cost of your insurance will depend on the types and levels of coverage that you select, your age and driving history, and a host of other factors. We have policies that can cover Uber, Lift and Door Dash.



Who is covered by my auto insurance policy?
Auto insurance covers you and the other family members on your policy whether you’re driving your car or someone else’s with their permission. Your policy also provides coverage if someone who isn’t on your policy is driving your car with your permission.
Your personal policy covers personal driving (things like driving to and from work, driving to and from activities, running errands, or taking a road trip). It does NOT provide coverage if you’re using your car for any sort of commercial purposes like delivering food or groceries – but don’t worry. We offer policies for those occasions too!
What does auto insurance cover?
- Liability – your legal responsibility to others if there is property damage or bodily injury
- Medical – the cost of treating injuries, rehabilitation, and even lost wages or other expenses
- Property – damage to or theft of your vehicle
Why might you want more than your state mandated minimum coverage?
Buying additional coverage upfront could save you money on repair bills, cover a judgement against you in the event of a lawsuit, and give you peace of mind.
