Auto Insurance 101

Having auto insurance is required by law in most states, including Oregon and Washington. We can provide coverage for virtually any driver, including young and high-risk drivers.

This rundown will give you an idea of the types of coverage available on most auto insurance policies. Some are required and others are optional, so you’ll be able to customize coverage amounts to suit your exact needs and budget.

• Bodily Injury Liability: Applies to injuries that you or family members listed on your policy cause to someone else and will protect your personal assets (such as homes and savings) from lawsuits that can happen after an accident.
• Property Damage Liability:  Pays for damage that you (or someone driving your car with permission) accidentally cause to someone else’s property.
• Collision: Pays for damage to your car that occurs as a result of a collision with another vehicle or object, such as a tree or guardrail, when you are at fault.
• Comprehensive: Reimburses you for loss due to theft or damage caused by something other than a collision with another car or object, such as fire, flood, hail, falling rocks or trees, or vandalism.
• Personal Injury Protection (PIP): Provides reimbursement for medical expenses for injuries to you or your passengers. It will also cover lost wages and other related expenses.
• Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM): Protects you if the at-fault party in your accident doesn’t have insurance or has insufficient insurance to pay for your damage, medical expenses and loss of income.

Factors That Will Affect Your Rates

There are many different factors that will affect the rates you are quoted. They include:

• Your age
• Your driving record
• The record of other drivers on your policy
• Your profession
• The type of car you drive
• The age and/or value of your vehicle
• Where you live and park your car overnight
• Whether there are anti-theft devices installed on the car
• How much you drive each year

The only way to know if a rate you’ve been quoted is competitive is to get several quotes for the exact same coverage. Also make sure the policy lengths are the same so that you’re not comparing a 6-month policy from one company to a 12-month policy from another.
