Auto insurance isn’t one single coverage. It’s a mix of protections that all do different things.
Most people don’t need to memorize the terms, they just need someone to explain what matters and what doesn’t. That’s where we come in.
Liability covers damage or injuries you cause to someone else.
Texas requires 30/60/25 coverage:
Those limits are the minimum. In a serious accident, they go fast. We usually recommend looking at higher limits so you’re not exposed.
Collision covers your vehicle if you’re in an accident, no matter who caused it.
It comes with a deductible. Higher deductible usually means lower monthly cost, but more out of pocket if you need to use it.
This is for things that aren’t a crash.
Hail, theft, falling limbs, vandalism. In East Texas, hitting a deer falls here too.
If it’s unexpected and not a collision, it’s probably comprehensive.
This covers you if the other driver doesn’t have enough insurance or doesn’t have any at all.
Texas consistently has a high percentage of uninsured drivers, estimated to be around 20%. If the other driver is unable to pay for the damage they caused, this coverage helps make sure you’re not left covering those costs yourself.
PIP helps with medical bills, lost income, and a few other expenses after an accident.
Texas requires companies to offer it, but you can waive it in writing. A lot of drivers keep it because it applies regardless of fault.
Medical Payments is more limited than PIP.
It helps with medical costs after an accident, but it doesn’t cover lost wages or extended expenses. It’s typically used as a more basic alternative to PIP.

It can. Married drivers are often rated lower risk, which can mean lower premiums.
