What does Clarksville car insurance actually do for me?
Car insurance is essential to protect your assets if you are in a car accident. It helps you pay for damage or injuries that you cause, and it can help pay for your own car, too.
As a Tennessee driver, you're required to have a minimum amount of liability insurance to cover you if you cause an accident.
But the minimum coverage is rarely sufficient in a serious crash.
Here’s how a Clarksville car insurance policy can help you recover if you are in a crash and how it can help you pay for a damaged or stolen car.
- Fix Your Car - We officially call this "Comprehensive & Collision Coverage." Nothing required.
- Fix Someone Else's Car - We officially call this "Property Damage Liability." Required min. $15,000.
- Pay Your Medical Bills - We officially call this "Personal Injury Protection" or "PIP." Nothing Required.
- Pay Someone Else's Medical Bills - We officially call this "Bodily Injury Liability." Required min. $25,000 per person, $50,000 per accident.
Who pays if the accident wasn't my fault?
The driver who caused the accident, of course. The truth is some people drive without car insurance.
20.1% Tennessee drivers are uninsured.
Drivers without insurance have no financial backup plan for accidents. Other drivers on the road become financially responsible for an uninsured driver’s mistakes.
That's where “uninsured motorist coverage” comes in. It pays for things like medical bills and vehicle damage if you’re hit by an uninsured driver. It offers a great deal of peace of mind, too.
Tennessee has the sixth highest percentage of uninsured drivers in the U.S. but does not require you to have uninsured motorist coverage.
What Affects the Cost of Clarksville Auto Insurance?
The average car insurance payment you might expect to pay will be based on several personal factors, such as the following:
- Your age
- Your gender
- Your ZIP code
- Your history of accidents and claims
- The kind of car you drive
- The number of cars and drivers in your household
Teen drivers and young adults typically pay more for car insurance than older, more experienced drivers. Likewise, if you have a history of accidents or filing insurance claims, you can expect to pay more too.
If you have some risk factors that will cause you to pay more, carefully consider the type of car you drive. Driving a moderately priced older vehicle can help you save on your Clarksville auto insurance.
And most importantly, work hard to keep your driving record clean.
