Spotlight on: Personal Auto Insurance
If you drive, you need insurance — and the right policy can make all the difference when the unexpected happens.
Auto insurance is a contract between you and your insurance carrier that helps cover the cost of damage to or loss of your car due to an accident, theft, or other covered events. For most people, their vehicle is one of their largest investments — so protecting it properly isn’t just smart, it’s essential.
While state law requires drivers to carry at least basic liability coverage, that may not be enough to fully protect you, your vehicle, and your finances. Comprehensive and collision coverage can help fill in those gaps and keep you protected from a wider range of risks — from storm damage to a stolen vehicle.

How Auto Insurance Works
Auto insurance is designed to help cover property damage and bodily injury liability that may result from driving.
If you’re involved in an accident, you can file a claim with your insurance carrier to help pay for vehicle repairs, medical costs, and other covered expenses. Policies are typically written for six or twelve months and can be customized based on your vehicle, driving habits, and budget.
Common Auto Coverages
Liability Coverage
Required by law, liability insurance helps cover expenses if you cause damage or injury to others. It includes:
Bodily Injury Liability – Covers medical expenses, legal fees, and settlements for injuries to others in an at-fault accident.
Property Damage Liability – Covers the cost to repair or replace another person’s vehicle or property.
Personal Injury Protection (PIP)
Covers medical expenses, lost wages, and related costs for you and your passengers, regardless of fault.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage
Helps pay for damages or injuries caused by drivers who don’t have enough (or any) insurance — including hit-and-run incidents.
Collision Coverage
Covers repairs or replacement of your car if it’s damaged in an at-fault accident, collision with another vehicle, or even a road hazard.
Comprehensive Coverage
Protects your car against non-collision events such as theft, vandalism, hail, flood, fire, or falling objects.
Glass Coverage
Covers windshield or window repairs — often with no deductible.
Gap Insurance
If your car is totaled, this coverage bridges the difference between what you owe on your loan and the car’s current market value.
Who’s Covered When Someone Borrows Your Car?
In most cases, auto insurance follows the vehicle, not just the driver. That means if someone you permit drives your car and gets into an accident, your coverage usually applies.
However, coverage can vary depending on the situation — especially if the driver is not listed on your policy. Always check with your agent before lending your car to avoid surprises.
Keep in mind that personal auto insurance does not cover commercial use such as ridesharing or food delivery. If your car is used for business purposes, you’ll need a commercial auto policy.
