What Is Full Coverage Auto Insurance?

Most of us drive, own a car, and at one point in our lives will be involved in a fender bender or accident. Regardless of who you are, Auto Insurance is very important and a necessary coverage you need to address with your agent. 

People often talk about having their cars "fully insured". But for those who don't really know the ins and outs of auto insurance terminology,  there's really no such thing as "full coverage" for your car. The good news is that there are a lot of auto insurance coverage options that can help protect you, your family and even your business in the event of an accident.

What Does Your Home Insurance Cover?

A "Peril" is a certain risk that may affect or damage your home. This is an insurance industry term, but basically describes the list of mishaps you're protected against. Here's a look at what the Insurance Information Institute says are some of the most common perils covered by a typical homeowners insurance policy:

  • Fire and smoke

  • Lightning strikes

  • Windstorms and hail

  • Explosion

  • Vandalism and malicious mischief

  • Damage from an aircraft, car or vehicle

  • Theft

  • Falling objects

How well do you know your insurance agent? Have you reached out to your agent in the last year and made any important changes to your policy after the birth of a child, after an accident or an addition to a house or business?

You wouldn't wait years to visit the doctor or take your auto in for a check up, would you?.  Here is a great article highlighting some variables that will affect your premium and coverage.
