What Kinds of Insurance do You Need for Your Ford Fiesta?

Bodily Injury Liability

If someone else is hurt in an accident you caused, bodily injury liability coverage will protect you from having to pay that person's medical bills on your own. Some states require drivers to carry certain amounts of bodily injury liability insurance. 

Property Damage Liability

In many areas, property damage liability coverage is required. If you damage someone else's vehicle or property, you are responsible for paying to fix or replace them. In most states, there are minimum limits you must meet. If you don't have enough insurance, you could be responsible for paying for additional costs out of pocket. Talk with your agent to understand whether buying more than the minimum required amount is a good idea. 

Medical Payments/Personal Injury Protection

Depending on where you live, personal injury protection may be required. In states where you can choose to opt out, you may be able to get medical payments coverage. These policies provide coverage for medical costs associated with recovering from a car accident. 

Uninsured Motorist Coverage

Uninsured and underinsured motorist don't have the insurance coverage they need to handle the repair bills if they cause an accident. You can get uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage to provide an extra layer of protection, though. This type of insurance provides coverage for you, your passengers, and the vehicle. 

Optional Coverage:

Collision

If you hit an object or are in an accident with another vehicle, collision coverage will pay to fix your car, minus your deductible. Your agent may recommend that you skip this type of coverage if your Fiesta is more than a few years old. Collision coverage is required if you have a lease or loan on your car, but it doesn't make sense for everyone. 

Comprehensive

If your car sustains damage from an event other than a collision, like a windstorm, hail, or a falling object, comprehensive coverage could handle the repair bill. Comprehensive coverage also covers damage as a result of hitting an animal and vandalism. 

Glass Coverage

If you have a broken windshield, chances are the cost to replace it is less than your deductible. It's still an unwelcome expense, and glass coverage is one add-on that can save you hundreds of dollars for a very low monthly premium. 

Gap Insurance

Gap coverage covers the "gap" between the amount you owe on a new car and the amount your insurance company will pay if your Fiesta is a total loss in an accident. Without gap insurance, you'll be responsible for paying the difference on your own.
