What Auto Insurance in Missouri Can Cover

A personal auto policy is made up of several coverages. Here are the main ones to review.

Liability Coverage

Liability coverage can help pay for injuries and property damage you cause to others in a covered accident, including legal defense costs. It is the core of every auto policy.

Collision Coverage

Collision coverage can help pay to repair or replace your car after a crash with another vehicle or object, minus your deductible. Lenders usually require it on financed cars.

Comprehensive Coverage

Comprehensive coverage can help with theft, vandalism, fire, falling objects, hail, and animal strikes. It is often called "other than collision" coverage.

Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Coverage

This coverage can help pay for your injuries when the at-fault driver has no insurance or not enough to cover the loss.

Questions to Ask About Auto Insurance in Missouri

Use these questions when you compare quotes or review your current policy:

• Do my liability limits protect my assets? State minimums may not be enough if you own a home or have savings.
• What deductibles make sense for me? A higher deductible can lower your premium but raises your cost after a claim.
• Is every driver in my household listed? Teen drivers and new household members should be reviewed.
• Do I still need collision on an older car? Compare the car's value with the cost of the coverage.
• Should I add an umbrella policy? An umbrella can add liability limits above your auto and home insurance in Missouri.
