What Does My Policy Cover?
While policies vary, your insurance agent may recommend the following coverage options:
- Liability coverage may step in if you cause bodily injury and property damage to others in an accident.
- Comprehensive coverage may offer financial help if your vehicle is involved in non-collision events such as theft, vandalism or weather-related damage.
- Collision coverage may pay for repairs to your car after an accident, regardless of who is at fault.
- Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage may provide financial support if you’re hit by a driver who has too little or no insurance.
How Much Auto Insurance Do I Need?
The level of auto insurance coverage you choose should reflect Missouri’s legal requirements and your personal comfort with financial risk. While the state mandates minimum liability coverage, it may not be enough to cover costs from a serious crash. To strengthen your financial protection, you might consider adding coverage options. Additionally, if your car is leased or financed, your lender might require you to carry insurance as part of the loan agreement.
What Affects the Cost of Auto Insurance?
Several factors can influence your auto insurance premium, such as:
- Your driving record and claims history
- The type and age of your vehicle
- Where you live
- The coverage limits and deductibles you choose
