Liability auto insurance - This coverage protects you from damages or injuries you inflict on a person or their property that is your fault. Liability can pay for things such as emergency aid, pain and suffering, and medical services. Coverage is generally pretty cheap so buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision coverage - This pays for damage to your from colliding with an object or car. A deductible applies then your collision coverage will kick in. This coverage can be expensive, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. Another option is to increase the deductible to get cheaper .

Comprehensive (Other than Collision) - This will pay to fix damage that is not covered by collision coverage. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay. The most you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider dropping full coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage - This gives you protection when other motorists do not carry enough liability coverage. Since a lot of drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. That's why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage should not be overlooked.

Medical expense insurance - Med pay and PIP coverage pay for expenses like doctor visits, EMT expenses, and X-ray expenses. The coverages can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program or if you lack health insurance entirely. Personal Injury Protection is not available in all states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage.
