Auto Insurance basics
What auto insurance generally addresses
Auto insurance may address legal liability, damage to an insured vehicle, and certain injury-related costs, depending on selected coverages and policy terms.
Requirements and availability vary. The vehicle, drivers, use, financing, deductibles, limits, and state rules can all affect the review.
Coverage categories
Common areas an auto policy may include
A policy does not necessarily include every category, and definitions vary.
Liability
May address covered bodily injury or property damage for which an insured driver is legally responsible.
Collision
May address covered damage to the insured vehicle from a collision, subject to a deductible and terms.
Comprehensive
May address specified non-collision losses such as theft, weather, or falling objects, subject to terms.
Uninsured or underinsured motorist
May address certain losses involving a driver with no insurance or insufficient limits.
Medical payments
May address specified medical expenses after a covered accident, where available.
Personal Injury Protection
Where applicable, PIP may address defined injury-related costs regardless of fault, subject to state rules.
Factors to review
What may affect needs
Coverage decisions should account for legal requirements and the actual driving situation.
State and vehicle
State requirements, vehicle value, safety features, and repair costs can matter.
Financing and drivers
A lender or lessor may impose requirements, and all household or regular drivers should be considered.
Use and exposure
Mileage, commuting, business use, passengers, and liability exposure may change the review.
Deductibles and limits
Higher or lower deductibles and liability limits change retained risk and potential cost.
Comparison checklist
What to compare
Compare more than price and verify who, what, and which events the policy addresses.
Limits and deductibles
Review liability limits and each deductible that may apply.
Drivers and vehicles
Confirm covered drivers, listed vehicles, permitted use, and household-driver rules.
Physical damage
Compare collision, comprehensive, valuation, exclusions, and lender requirements.
Optional protections and terms
Review optional coverages, endorsements, exclusions, and policy conditions.
Frequently asked questions
Auto Insurance FAQ
Is auto insurance required?
Requirements vary by state and situation. A lender or lessor may also require physical-damage coverage. Verify current applicable rules.
What is a deductible?
It is the amount the policyholder generally pays toward a covered loss before applicable policy payment. Different coverages may use different deductibles.
Do collision and comprehensive cover the same events?
No. Collision generally concerns impact-related damage, while comprehensive generally concerns specified non-collision losses. Definitions and exclusions vary.
Who should be listed as a driver?
Insurer rules vary, but household members and regular drivers commonly need to be disclosed. Review the application and policy requirements.
Does a policy cover every use of a vehicle?
Not necessarily. Business use, delivery, rideshare activity, excluded drivers, and other circumstances may require specific review.
