About Insurance Advisor

The amount of car insurance you need to drive legally (your state’s minimum car insurance requirement) is usually not sufficient to financially protect you should you have an accident. And if you don’t have optional coverage, your car isn’t covered for theft and damage from collisions, fire, floods, hail, animal strikes or vandalism. If you’re unsure how much car insurance you need, our Insurance Advisor will help you.

Minimum car insurance requirements vary by state. All states’ auto policies require liability coverage for bodily injury and property damage, but from there it differs. No-fault states require personal injury protection (PIP) and some states require uninsured and/or underinsured motorist. A policy with only the state minimums is better than nothing, but to protect your assets it’s wise to carry more coverage and higher limits. When you’re liable for an accident, you have to pay out-of-pocket for damages for whatever your car insurance doesn’t cover.

Our Insurance Advisor will review your existing policy details and determine what coverages you may be missing for a well-rounded, well-balanced auto insurance policy. It will explain the different types of car insurance and what they cover as you answer the questions, will give you a letter grade on your current policy and offer recommendations for limits and coverage types if you have gaps in your policy.
