Auto Insurance

Car insurance is among the most frequently purchased types of coverage across the United States. These policies, also known as auto insurance, may be an invaluable investment for anyone who owns or operates a motor vehicle. While car insurance is quite common, it can also be complicated. With that in mind, contacting a qualified expert, such as those at Huffman Insurance Agencies, is necessary to ensure you obtain an adequate policy. 

What Is Car Insurance? 
As its name suggests, car insurance generally focuses on providing financial protection for policyholders after incidents involving their motor vehicles. These policies can often be customized to suit your specific needs. After acquiring coverage, your regular premiums maintain your insurance throughout its term and provide access to funds that may prove critical in the aftermath of an accident or other situation resulting in losses and damages. 

What Does Car Insurance Cover? 
Although car insurance policies can vary significantly in their details and clauses, an adequate policy should include the following: 

• Liability coverage provides financial protection if you are the at-fault party in an accident. This may include:
• Bodily injury liability, which can pay for another party’s medical bills, lost income or death benefits
• Property damage liability, which can cover repairing or replacing another party’s property
• Medical payments coverage (MedPay) covers expenses and losses arising from injuries suffered by you or your passengers during an accident, regardless of who was at fault. Collision coverage can pay to repair your car following a collision with another vehicle or stationary object, such as a building or fence. 

Comprehensive coverage may provide financial aid if your vehicle is damaged by noncollision incidents such as the following: 

• Fires
• Severe weather
• Striking an animal
• Theft
• Vandalism
• Falling objects (e.g., rocks, tree limbs)
• Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage can provide additional financial assistance to pay for your losses if another party is at fault but lacks sufficient insurance. 

How Much Does Car Insurance Cost? 
Car insurance policies can vary significantly. Before being able to provide you with an accurate quote, our agents must analyze your unique circumstances. In most cases, the following criteria will be considered: 

• Location
• Driving record
• Vehicle details (e.g., make, model, year)
• Estimated annual mileage
• Claims history
• Policy details (e.g., endorsements, coverage limits, deductibles)
