To protect yourself financially in the event that you are found legally responsible for the injuries or property damage of another person, it is highly recommended that you purchase auto insurance. Medical costs incurred by you or your passengers as a result of an accident with an uninsured or underinsured motorist are covered by auto insurance. The coverage provided by your policy is subject to the parameters established between you and your insurer.

Do I need car insurance?

The only state that doesn’t mandate it is New Hampshire, but even there, you should have insurance in case you cause an accident and have to pay for the damages yourself. It’s illegal to drive without insurance and could lead to a hefty fine, loss of driving privileges, or even jail time. Any policy you choose from Progressive or any other insurer will be in compliance with the laws of your state.

What does auto insurance cover?

Accidents, both on and off the road, are all covered by standard auto insurance. Most auto insurance policies will include the following coverages, though the specifics may vary by state:

1. Liability
   In 49 of the 50 states, having auto liability insurance is a law. Liability insurance protects you financially if you cause an accident and are sued for damages to property or bodily injury to other motorists and their passengers.
2. Comprehensive
   Damage to your vehicle caused by things like falling trees, vandalism, weather, and theft are all things that are covered by comprehensive insurance.
3. Collision
   If your car collides with another vehicle or an object (such as a tree, a guardrail, or a fence), your collision coverage will pay for repairs.
4. Insurance for Medical Expenses and Damages to Your Person (PIP)
   Most states provide for at least some sort of medical payments coverage, while states that mandate it typically only offer personal injury protection. In the event of an auto accident, both will pay for medical care for you and your passengers (regardless of fault).
5. Body Injury from an Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist (UIM) and Property Damage (UMPD)
   When you and your passengers are injured in an accident with a driver who has either no insurance or insufficient insurance, UIM can help cover the costs. If your car is damaged in an accident with an uninsured or underinsured motorist, UMPD may be able to help pay for the costs of fixing or replacing it.
6. Other optional coverages
   Coverage for rental cars, payoff of a car loan or lease (gap insurance), and towing are all part of this package.

In what ways is car insurance limited?

Normal wear and tear, additional drivers who aren’t on the policy, and ridesharing aren’t covered by a standard auto insurance policy. If there is something your auto insurance doesn’t cover, you may be able to add it as an endorsement or buy a separate policy or warranty. If you have a Progressive auto policy, for instance, you can extend your coverage to include ridesharing.

How do you determine the cost of auto insurance?

Your age, driving record, location, and the make and model of your car are just some of the variables that go into calculating your auto insurance premium. Find out what goes into determining the price of auto insurance and what the average premium is.

What exactly is the cost of car insurance every month?

The sum of money you agree to pay annually to your auto insurance provider in exchange for protection is known as your premium. Insurance premiums are typically paid monthly or in one lump sum.

The deductible on my car insurance is…

If you file a claim with your insurance company, you will have to pay your deductible before the company pays anything.

Say you have a $500 deductible and your car hits a telephone pole and needs $2,000 in repairs. Your insurance company will cover the remaining $1,500 after you pay $500. Deductible amounts are typically presented by insurance companies as a range.

As the deductible rises, your share of the claim’s costs decreases. In other words, your deductible and copayments will be larger, but your overall rate will be lower.

Does vehicle maintenance get paid for by insurance?

Automobile insurance typically does not pay for repairs, maintenance, or normal wear and tear. In the event of a breakdown, Progressive’s roadside assistance will arrange for a tow to the nearest repair shop, no matter where in the United States or Canada you may be.
