Types of car Insurance

America has become a culture of cars, SUV's, minivans and sports coupes. With all this traveling in and out, back and forth around the maze that is the United States infrastructure, its easy to understand why auto insurance is required in order to own an drive a car.
For car buyers, an effort needs to be made on the part of insurance companies to provide information on the different types of auto insuranceavailable. These include bodily injury and liability, collision, comprehensive, full glace, liability, medical coverage, personal injury protection, and underinsured or uninsured motorist.


There are several other types of car insurance
These include glass replacement insurance, towing insurance etc. These types of insurance are often not required and are not popular as they are often costly.

- Uninsured or under-insured drivers insurance will pay any costs that you or your passengers may experience if an accident should occur with adriver who is uninsured or underinsured.
- Liability insurance coverage is imperative to have as a driver. This insurance covers any injuries or damages to property that may occur during an accident. Two types of liability include bodily injury liability insurance and property damage liability insurance.
- Medical insurance is different in that it focuses on the driver and passengers of the car. This will cover any medical treatment for the driverand the passengers. In addition, the medical insurance may or may not offer disability insurance and pain and suffering compensation. 
- Collision insurance deals with the cost of damage caused by a collision to your car that may affect the book value. Comprehensive deals more with damage caused by vandalism, natural disasters, theft or other kinds of damage.

Now that you know what types of car insurance are out there, the next step is to find a credible insurance agent. The first place to investigate this is through family and friends. Referrals will help you sort those agents that you want to investigate further. You will want to speak with several different agents before you make your final decisions. Ask any and all questions you may have. That is what the agent is there for.
