If you own and drive a vehicle, you should be considering your auto insurance options. Auto insurance provides you with financial protection in the event of an accident. In Louisiana, proof of minimum liability insurance coverage is required, but you may want to consider other coverage options as well, depending on your needs. 
What Is Covered Under Auto Insurance?
At its most basic, auto insurance provides a level of protection for a few things:
-
Liability – Covers bodily injury or property damage your car causes to others
-
Medical – Cover injuries, rehabilitation, lost wages and funeral expenses
Additional coverage can be purchased if desired. To cover damages to your own car, you should consider the following options:
-
Collision – Covers damage to your car that results from a collision with another vehicle or object when you’re at fault
-
Comprehensive – Covers theft and damage caused by incidents outside of collisions such as a fire, flood, vandalism and various weather hazards
-
Personal Injury Protection – Covers medical costs, lost wages and expenses of those who become injured on your vehicle, including yourself, due to an accident
Most states require drivers to carry minimum levels of auto insurance. Check with your agent to find out what you may be required to purchase.
How Much Does Auto Insurance Cost?
The cost of your auto insurance policy will depend on a few factors:
-
Use of your car—If you use your car for ridesharing or delivery services, your rates may be higher.
-
Location—Where you live and use your car will influence your rates, as those who live in cities or areas where auto claims are statistically higher may have higher insurance rates.
-
Your age—Statistically speaking, younger drivers are more likely to get into accidents, causing their rates to be higher than those who are older.
-
Your gender—According to statistics, men are more likely than women to be in accidents, which causes their insurance premiums to typically be higher.
-
Type of car you drive—The age, style, and overall value of the car you drive will influence auto premiums.
Be sure to discuss your options with your agent at Protective Risk of Louisiana to receive your personalized quote.
