What is personal auto insurance?
Personal auto insurance is coverage for your personal vehicle in the event an accident occurs. Depending on the plan, you can get coverage no matter who’s at fault and when you’re the only one insured.
If an accident occurs, personal auto insurance is meant to protect your personal assets. It can provide funds to fix your vehicle, pay for medical expenses, or pay for liability charges if you are found responsible for the accident. The policy can step in to offset the costs associated with things like:
- Liability lawsuits
- Repairs to damaged property
- Medical expenses for yourself or others
- Rental car replacement
- Windshield repair
- Towing
- Roadside assistance
What are coverage options for personal auto insurance?
When it comes to having or not having auto insurance, you must be covered; every state requires some type of auto insurance. But, you do have choices on the type of coverage you have.
- Bodily injury liability: Covers injuries to other people and damage to others’ property when you are in an at-fault accident.
- Medical payments: Coverage for yourself or your passengers regardless of fault in an accident.
- Property damage liability: Covers damage you may cause to someone else’s property. This is usually another vehicle, but can also be buildings, lamp posts, telephone poles, fences, or other structures your vehicle may hit.
- Collision coverage: Pays for damage to your vehicle in event of an at-fault accident. This coverage will pay to fix your vehicle once your deductible is met.
- Comprehensive coverage: Pays for damage to your vehicle due to theft or damage caused by something other than a collision with another car or object. For example, fire, hail, explosion, earthquake, wind damage, flood, or vandalism would all be perils covered under comprehensive coverage. When involved in an accident with wildlife, this would typically be covered under your comprehensive coverage.
- Underinsured or uninsured motorists coverage: Offers you protection if you are involved in a not-at-fault accident with someone who has no insurance or not enough insurance to cover your injuries. Also, this coverage extends protection when someone causes the accident and flees the scene.
Other coverage options for your personal auto insurance include:
- Optional coverages
- Windshield replacement with no deductible
- Towing
- Rental car coverage
- Roadside assistance
- Loan and Lease Gap Coverage

How much coverage do I need?
The amount of insurance you need is going to vary based on your assets, coverage needs, and your level of comfort on the limit options. When there are so many cars on the road with values up to or higher than $100,000, it is our recommendation that $300,000 be a minimum starting point for your liability and property damage coverage limits.
