Types of Auto Insurance—Which Coverages Are Right for You in Georgia?

Understanding the different types of auto insurance can help you make an informed decision that suits your needs and complies with Georgia’s insurance requirements.

Your agent may recommend the following types of auto insurance coverage:

• Liability coverage is mandatory in Georgia and is designed to protect you financially if you are at fault in an accident. It may help cover bodily injury and property damage liability, up to the policy’s dollar limits. Your agent may recommend purchasing additional coverage, as Georgia’s minimum liability requirements may not be enough to cover a severe accident.
• Collision coverage can help pay for repairs to your vehicle if it is damaged in an accident, regardless of who is at fault. This type of coverage is particularly important if you have a newer or more expensive car, as it can help cover the cost of significant repairs or even replacement.
• Comprehensive coverage can cover damage caused by noncollision events, including natural disasters, theft, animal collisions and vandalism.
• Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage is crucial in protecting you if you are involved in an accident with an at-fault uninsured driver or one with insufficient coverage.
• Medical payments coverage is another optional coverage that can help pay for medical expenses incurred by you and your passengers after an accident, regardless of fault. This can include hospital visits, surgeries and other necessary medical treatments.
• Gap insurance can help cover the difference between the actual cash value of your car and the amount you owe on your loan or lease if your car is totaled or stolen.
• Rental reimbursement coverage can help pay for a rental car while your vehicle is being repaired after an accident. This can be a convenient option if you rely on your car for daily activities and need a temporary replacement.
