How does car and truck insurance work?
Drivers in Iowa, Minnesota, and South Dakota in are required by law to have insurance coverage on the vehicle(s) they own. At the minimum, you need to have enough liability coverage to protect yourself from financial loss if you cause an accident. If you have a car loan, you may be required to insure your own vehicle as well. Of course, you can always opt for as much coverage as you want to have for peace of mind. Factors like your family situation, the value of your car, etc., will help you determine the best policy to meet your needs.
What does auto insurance cover?
Depending on the types and level of coverage you choose, your policy could include any or all of the following:
- Liability: This covers the cost of injuries and damage to other people and their property when the car accident is your fault.
- Medical Payments: Provides a certain amount of reimbursement for medical care to treat you and any passengers in your car who are injured in an accident. This coverage kicks in regardless of who is at fault in the accident.
- Collision: Reimburses you for damage to your car from an accident, regardless of who is at fault. There is usually a deductible.
- Comprehensive: Provides coverage for damages to your vehicle from other causes such as fire, theft, hail, glass claims, and hitting an animal on the road.
- Uninsured & Underinsured Motorist: This type of insurance provides coverage if you are in an accident with a hit-and-run driver, an uninsured driver, or a person whose liability insurance doesn’t offer enough coverage to reimburse you for your injuries.
- Towing & Labor: This optional extra coverage provides reimbursement for certain expenses associated with an accident, such as towing fees, car rental, etc.
