Auto Insurance

Cover that fits your life, explained properly

Auto insurance is compulsory in almost every state, which means most people buy it, forget it, and keep paying the same price for years while their risk profile quietly improves. Loyalty is rarely rewarded in car insurance. Drivers who re-shop every two years save an average of $600 a year for identical cover, simply because carriers re-price new business far more aggressively than they re-price renewals.

We run your vehicles, drivers and driving records across our carrier network and come back with three things: the cheapest acceptable option, the best-value option, and the option we would put on our own family's cars. Then we explain the difference in plain terms — because a $40 monthly saving that drops your liability limits to state minimums can cost you your savings account after one at-fault accident.

Getting the limits right matters more than getting the premium low. If you own a home, have a retirement account or a teenage driver, state-minimum liability is not protection — it is a formality. We typically recommend 100/300/100 liability with an umbrella policy above it, and we show you exactly what that costs against what it protects.

Cover details

What your auto policy covers

A summary of what a well-built policy includes. Exact limits, sub-limits and endorsements are set out in your written quote and in the carrier's policy wording.

Bodily injury liability

Pays for injuries you cause to other people, plus your legal defence if you are sued. Split limits such as 100/300 mean $100,000 per person and $300,000 per accident.

Property damage liability

Covers the other driver's vehicle, fences, buildings and anything else you damage — including expensive cars, where a $25,000 limit disappears fast.

Collision

Repairs or replaces your own vehicle after a crash with another car or object, regardless of fault, subject to your deductible.

Comprehensive

Theft, vandalism, hail, fire, falling objects, glass and animal strikes. Hail alone accounts for a huge share of Minnesota claims.

Uninsured / underinsured motorist

Pays your medical bills and vehicle damage when the other driver has no insurance or not enough — around one in eight US drivers is uninsured.

Medical payments / PIP

No-fault medical cover for you and your passengers, plus lost wages and essential services on personal injury protection plans.

Roadside assistance & towing

Flat battery, flat tyre, lockout, fuel delivery and towing, usually for a few dollars a month per vehicle.

Rental reimbursement

A hire car while yours is in the shop after a covered claim, typically $40–$60 per day for up to 30 days.

Read this part

Not covered by a standard auto policy

Most denied claims fail because of an exclusion the policyholder never read. These are the ones that matter most on auto insurance policies.

  • Using your personal car for rideshare delivery or courier work without a rideshare endorsement.
  • Regular commuting in a vehicle registered and insured for pleasure use only.
  • Wear and tear, mechanical breakdown, rust, tyre damage from road hazards (unless comprehensive applies) and aftermarket modifications not declared to the insurer.
  • Driving under the influence, driving without a valid licence, or using the vehicle in a race or speed test.
  • Personal belongings stolen from inside the car — those fall under your home or renters policy contents cover.

How we prevent surprises

  • We walk you through the exclusions before you buy, not after a claim.
  • We add endorsements where a gap can be closed for a few dollars a month.
  • You receive the full policy wording and declarations page by email on day one.
  • Your claims advocate reviews any settlement offer with you before you accept it.

Questions

Auto Insurance FAQs

Straight answers to the things people ask us most about auto insurance.

At minimum: multi-policy (home + auto), multi-vehicle, paperless and autopay, good driver, and defensive driving course. Families should also claim good student (B average or better), low annual mileage, telematics/safe-driving app, anti-theft device, affiliation and occupational discounts. Missing two of these typically costs $300–$500 a year.

Often yes, if you have the cash reserve. Moving from a $500 to a $1,000 comprehensive deductible usually cuts 10–15% from the premium. But only do it if you would genuinely be able to pay that deductible tomorrow without borrowing — otherwise you are converting a premium cost into a financial emergency.

Expect a significant increase — teen drivers are the highest-risk group on the road. Adding them to an existing family policy is nearly always cheaper than a separate policy. Good student discounts, a telematics device and putting them on the older, cheaper vehicle can cut the impact by a third. We will model all three.

A useful rule: if the annual collision and comprehensive premium exceeds 10% of the car's current market value, drop it and self-insure. On a vehicle worth $4,000 with a $1,000 deductible, the maximum payout is $3,000 and the premium rarely justifies it.

Call us first — before you speak to the other driver's insurer. Your claims advocate will document the scene, notify your carrier, arrange a repair estimate, secure a rental and negotiate the settlement. Never give a recorded statement to another carrier without advice; it is the single most common way claims are reduced or denied.
