Why You Might Need Optional Car Coverage in Englewood, CO

Your car policy will come standard with liability. Anything beyond that will need to be added. An independent agent can help you walk through which coverages are necessary for your situation. In the meantime, check out some options:

  • Tow coverage: This will pay for a tow truck to tow a covered auto due to a loss.
  • Collision coverage: This pays for property damage to your car in the event of a crash.
  • Rental car coverage: This will provide reimbursement for a rental car when your covered auto is damaged. 
  • Comprehensive coverage: This will pay for property damage to your vehicle that is hit by an unavoidable object.
  • Uninsured/underinsured motorists or UM/UIM: This coverage will pay for your expenses arising from an accident with an uninsured at-fault driver. Nationally, there are 13.0% uninsured drivers and 13.1% in Colorado.

No matter if you drive an SUV or an RV, you'll need coverage for all the what-ifs. Liability protection is good, but it doesn't cover all your exposures. To ensure you're getting the protection you need, connect with an Englewood independent agent.
