How much auto insurance do I need?
Before you can answer, "How much car insurance do I need?" there are three basic things we'll need to review first: the types of auto coverages that exist, PA's insurance requirements and your budget. At Grove Financial & Associates,, we can review these topics with you in further detail and ultimately build the right policy.
1) Understand the types of PA auto coverages.
There's a wide range of auto coverages that make an insurance policy, and it's good to know what they are to determine how much coverage you need. Here are the basic coverages and types of insurance:
Liability coverage
Liability coverage accounts for damage you may be legally responsible for resulting from a covered accident. This can include damages for injuries and property damage to others.
Collision insurance
Collision insurance takes care of damage to your car after an accident with another vehicle.
Comprehensive insurance
Comprehensive coverage helps pay for damage to your car that is not caused by a collision, such as a weather event, vandalism or theft.
Uninsured motorist insurance
This insurance protects you from uninsured drivers and hit-and-run accidents.
Underinsured motorist insurance
Underinsured motorist insurance offers protection when you're in an accident with a driver who doesn't have enough insurance to cover all the costs.
Medical payments coverage
This coverage helps pay for you and your passengers' medical costs after a covered car accident.
Personal injury protection insurance
Personal injury protection insurance may help cover the cost of medical expenses and loss of income that results from a covered accident.
Gap coverage
In case your car is totaled after an accident or stolen, this coverage will help pay the difference between the value of your vehicle and the amount you owe on the lease or loan.
Towing and labor coverage
This coverage may allow you to get reimbursed for a tow and the labor costs associated with repairing of your vehicle.
Rental reimbursement coverage
If your car has to stay in the shop for an extended time after a covered accident, this coverage can help pay for a rental car.
2) Determine your state's legal requirements.
PA requires its drivers to have a certain amount of car insurance. If you don't know what the local insurance requirements are, Grove Financial & Associates, can assist you in shopping for car insurance that meets the legal standard. It's important to note that the state minimum requirements may not provide enough coverage for your situation.
3) Consider your budget.
