Vehicle Insurance
Vehicle insurance, also known as auto insurance, is a type of insurance that provides financial protection against physical damage or loss to a vehicle and liability that may arise from a traffic accident or other incidents involving the vehicle.
Vehicle insurance policies typically provide coverage for:
-
Physical damage or loss to the insured vehicle caused by collisions, theft, fire, or natural disasters.
-
Liability coverage for bodily injury or property damage caused to others in an accident involving the insured vehicle.
-
Personal injury protection (PIP) or medical payments coverage, which provides coverage for medical expenses incurred by the policyholder and their passengers in an accident, regardless of who is at fault.
-
Uninsured or underinsured motorist coverage, which provides coverage for bodily injury or property damage caused by a driver who is uninsured or underinsured.
The cost of vehicle insurance depends on a variety of factors, such as the type of vehicle, age and driving history of the policyholder, and coverage limits. Policyholders may choose from a range of coverage options and add-ons, such as collision coverage, comprehensive coverage, roadside assistance, and rental car coverage.
In many countries, vehicle insurance is mandatory for all drivers to ensure financial protection for themselves and other drivers in case of an accident. It is important to carefully review policy coverage, benefits, and limitations to ensure that the chosen vehicle insurance policy meets individual needs and provides adequate financial protection in case of an accident or other incidents involving the insured vehicle.
