Full coverage car insurance describes a combination of policies. Some are mandated by state law — this typically includes things like bodily injury liability, which covers injuries or deaths resulting from an accident that was your fault. Property damage you cause in an at-fault accident is frequently compulsory.
Full coverage also includes repair costs to your vehicle from random accidents or if your car is stolen. Full coverage auto insurance isn't required by law on a vehicle you own but might be necessary on a car with a loan— check out our guide on car insurance or contact us today.
Purchasing an RV is exciting, but drivers often assume that regular auto insurance will cover the RV. Specialist policies are available for RVs but must be negotiated separately from standard auto coverage.
Likewise, home insurance doesn't cover an RV even if you live in it — you must still obtain specialist RV coverage.
Lake Region has many years of experience providing advice on RVs, and the best idea is to get in touch to learn more before you purchase an RV.
You can also consult our guide to purchasing and insuring an RV.
Pothole damage to your vehicle is more than a nuisance — it can leave you with a large repair bill for something that shouldn't be there in the first place.
While we agree that the state of some of our roads needs to be addressed, it's important to remember that many policies won't cover you for pothole damage. Full coverage or a policy including collision coverage will protect you from expensive repair bills, but a third-party damage policy (the minimum coverage required in most states) will not.
The short answer is yes — but it depends on the insurer and will typically be more expensive. It's important to remember that "high-risk driver" isn't a definitive assessment. The level of risk can change over a person's lifetime.
Insurance companies consider drivers on a sliding scale of risk management, from very low (no-fault crashes, no record of speeding or risky behavior, etc.) to very high (multiple DUIs or speeding tickets, multiple at-fault crashes, etc.).
Each time you set up or renew an auto insurance policy, your insurance carrier will estimate the total worth of the vehicle.
When your vehicle has been in an accident, the insurers will call in experts to assess the vehicle and offer an estimate for the cost of repairs.
If the cost of repairs exceeds the worth of the vehicle, it will be declared a total loss. Instead of repairs, you will receive a sum equal to the vehicle's last valuation when a total loss is declared.
As with RVs, car insurance doesn't cover an ATV. However, affordable policies for ATVs are available and protect against hazards that your auto policy would not
An ATV faces significantly different risks from a vehicle that only drives on roads. These added risks mean that insurers need to use a different calculation to estimate the chance of damage.
