What Kind of Insurance Do You Need for Your Honda?
Bodily injury liability: If you cause an accident and someone else is hurt, bodily injury liability insurance will pay for costs associated with medical care and recovery for that person.
Property damage liability: Property damage liability is often required by law. Your agent may recommend that you purchase more than the minimum amount required. Your insurance policy only covers damage up to the limits of your policy. After that, you are personally liable for additional costs of repairing or replacing the other person's property when you are at fault in an accident.
Medical payments/Personal injury protection: Laws differ from one state to the next, so talk with your agent to understand your options where personal injury protection and medical payments insurance is concerned. Depending on where you live, this coverage may be required by law. The policy pays for costs related to physical recovery for you and your passengers.
Uninsured motorist coverage: Not every driver has the right amount of insurance coverage. Even if it's illegal to drive without liability insurance, many people take the chance. Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage offers an extra layer of protection that pays for repairs to your vehicle.
Optional coverage
Collision: Collision insurance coverage pays to repair or replace your Honda if you hit something or are in an accident with another car. This type of coverage isn't right for everyone, so talk with your agent about the pros and cons of including collision coverage on an older vehicle.
Comprehensive: If you are in an accident caused by an animal in the road or are a victim of vandalism, you'll need comprehensive insurance coverage to get your repair bill paid for. The insurance company will handle the cost of repairing or replacing your Honda, minus your deductible, up to its fair market value for covered incidents.
Glass coverage: You can't put off replacing a windshield without risking a ticket, but it can be an expensive repair. This zero-deductible policy costs just a few dollars each month.
Gap insurance: If you think you owe more on your car than its market value and you didn't buy gap insurance at the dealership, talk with your agent about how this type of insurance could help you. Without it, you could be responsible for paying off your loan or lease if your vehicle is a total loss after an accident.
