A few years back, having automobile insurance was not mandatory by State laws. Now days, most states require drivers to maintain their vehicles insured with at least liability coverage, which provides bodily injury and property damage protection for others if ya are found liable.
Before insuring your vehicles was mandatory, consumers who did have their vehicles insured purchased automobile insurance not cause it was a requirement, but cause they wanted to protect themselves in case of an accident.
A large percentage of consumers purchase liability automobile insurance coverage only cause it is a state requirement. Most likely, those consumers wouldn’t insure their vehicles if it wasn’t a law.
Many do not consider the real value of automobile insurance until they have a bad [real world] experience. Most automobile insurance agents have experienced the customer who purchases the most basic coverage on their automotive and then wrecks it and regrets not purchasing higher coverage. After learning an costly lesson the hard way, next time they’re sure to purchase the needed coverage so that they don’t make the same mistake twice.
Purchasing the right coverage is definitely worth it although it costs more than just going with the state requirements. When ya buy liability coverage only, realize that there is no coverage for your automotive in case of an "at fault" accident and sometimes even if ya’re involved in a non-fault accident.
As an example, say ya were motoring aroun' in your $10,000 automotive with liability coverage only and somebody else rear-finishes ya while ya’re stopped at a red light. Obviously it wasn’t your fault and the other person’s policy will cover your automotive right? Not right! What if that person did not have automobile insurance? Who will fix your automobile then?
One must consider all possibilities cause it does happen. There is many different coverage procurable that can be quite inexpensive and could get ya out of a bad situation.
In the above example, if ya would have purchased Uninsured Motorist coverage, your own automobile insurance company would have paid your automotive’s damages up to the purchased limits, even if the accident wasn’t your fault. Uninsured Motorist coverage is quite inexpensive.
Ask your agent about all different coverage options. You’ll be surprised to find out that some valuable coverage is cheaper than ya though.
Some additional coverage to consider:
- Optional Additions such as roadside assistance, towing and rental.
Higher limits of liability vs. just the state requirements. If ya do not have enough coverage to cover damages ya are liable for, ya must pay any uncovered damages out-of-pocket.
Medical Coverage – Provides beneficial medical coverage to ya and your passengers regardless of fault.
Uninsured Motorist Coverage – Protects ya if ya were to get wacked by an "not insured" motorist.
Comprehensive and Collision Coverage – Provides theft, vandalism, fire, accidents and other damage to your automotive.
