    • Frequently Asked Questions

    Auto insurance rates are influenced by many factors including your location, vehicle type, driving record, age, credit score, coverage level, and annual mileage. Younger drivers and drivers with poor records typically pay higher premiums.
    Liability coverage pays for damages and injuries you cause to others, while collision coverage pays for damage to your own vehicle from collisions. Liability is typically required by law, while collision is optional.
    You can lower your premium by maintaining a clean driving record, choosing a higher deductible, bundling policies, taking defensive driving courses, and choosing a vehicle with lower insurance costs.
    No-fault insurance is only available in certain US states including Florida, Michigan, New York, New Jersey, and Pennsylvania. In no-fault states, your insurance covers your injuries regardless of who caused the accident.
