What Is Auto Insurance?

Auto insurance is a contract between an individual and an insurance company designed to protect against financial loss in case of an accident or theft. In exchange for paying a premium, the insurance company agrees to pay your losses as outlined in your policy. Auto insurance policies include different types of coverage, each with its own particulars and purposes. In North Carolina, auto insurance is mandatory, and drivers are required to carry minimum coverage to operate their vehicles legally on public roads.

Auto insurance coverage varies depending on your chosen policy. However, most policies include the following:

• Property coverage—This type of coverage pays for damages to or theft of your vehicle. It helps cover repair costs if your car is damaged due to an accident, vandalism, theft or other covered events.
• Liability coverage—This type of coverage is for situations where you're legally responsible for causing bodily injury or property damage to others.
• Medical coverage—This type of coverage is also known as personal injury protection (PIP) or medical payments coverage and may pay for medical expenses resulting from a car accident.

Does Auto Insurance Cover Theft?

Depending on the policy, theft coverage may be included in your auto insurance. You can also opt for modified or additional theft coverages, such as comprehensive coverage, which provides added security against theft-related risks, ultimately enhancing the overall protection the policy offers.

Coverage options from J M Hamilton and Associates offer peace of mind to drivers worried about potential theft, ensuring they can receive financial compensation in the unfortunate event of vehicle theft.

How Do I Get Affordable Car Insurance?

Securing affordable car insurance is possible through various strategies. However, it helps to be informed of the factors that can affect your policy’s cost, such as the following:

• Driving record—Clean driving histories typically lead to lower premiums, whereas accidents or traffic violations may increase them.
• Age and experience—Your age and experience may affect your auto insurance costs.
• Vehicle type—The make, model and age of your car can influence insurance rates.
• Deductible amount—Your chosen deductible can help increase or decrease premium payments.
