As 2023 approaches, it’s important to consider the types of auto insurance coverage that can help keep you and your family safe.
A comprehensive auto insurance plan can help protect you financially in the event of an accident or other unexpected incident, as well as cover medical expenses, property damage and legal fees.
In general, auto insurance coverage comes in several types. However, state-specific requirements vary in terms of coverage amount and type.
The Three Essential Types of Auto Insurance Coverage
Automobile insurance coverage has evolved in response to the growing number of vehicles on the road.
To help you find the best coverage for your needs, here is a list of auto insurance coverage types to consider in 2023:
Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist Coverage
Uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage is an essential type of auto insurance coverage that protects you in the event of an accident with a driver who does not have adequate insurance. This coverage will pay for damages to your car and medical expenses incurred from the accident.
In some states, this coverage may also provide additional benefits such as loss of income and funeral expenses. It is important to note that this coverage only applies if the other driver is at fault for the accident. Uninsured motorist coverage is typically required by law in most states, although it may still be a good idea to purchase it even if it is not legally required.
Substitute Transportation
Automobile Insurance that has Substitute Transportation coverage is an insurance policy that provides reimbursement for the cost of renting a vehicle while your car is being repaired. This coverage is especially important if you have only one vehicle since you’ll need to get around while your car is being repaired.
Substitute Transportation coverage typically costs a fraction of the automobile rental charges, so it’s an affordable way to protect yourself from unexpected costs. That said, you will be able to rest easy knowing that if your car needs repairs, you won’t have to dig deep into your pocket.
Medical Payments Insurance
Medical payments insurance is an optional coverage that helps cover medical costs for you and your passengers if you are involved in a car accident. Your coverage will also help cover your deductible and other medical expenses you may have.
This coverage is especially important if the other driver doesn’t have enough (or any) insurance to cover these expenses. In addition, medical payments insurance is generally very affordable and offers peace of mind should the worst happen. It is important to remember that this coverage does not replace or supplement your health insurance but helps cover expenses not usually covered by your health plan.
