Liability vs. full coverage

Liability coverage is required in almost every state and pays for damage you cause to others. Full coverage adds collision and comprehensive, which pay for damage to your own vehicle.

State minimum coverage and why it's rarely enough

Most states require minimum liability limits like 25/50/25 ($25,000 bodily injury per person, $50,000 per accident, $25,000 property damage). In a serious accident, those limits are exhausted fast, leaving you personally liable for the rest.

Factors that drive your premium

  • Age: drivers under 25 pay up to 60% more
  • Accident history: each at-fault claim can raise rates 15-25%
  • State and ZIP code
  • Credit-based insurance score (legal in most states)
  • Vehicle make, model, and value

How to lower your premium

  • Raising your deductible can cut premiums up to 20%
  • Bundling auto and home often saves 10-25%
  • Usage-based / telematics programs reward safe driving
  • Maintaining good credit lowers rates in most states
