Types of Auto Insurance for a Station Wagon

These are the main types of auto insurance coverage available:
Liability Insurance
This is the most basic and legally required insurance in most states. It includes:
Bodily Injury Liability: Covers medical expenses for other parties if you’re at fault in an accident.
Property Damage Liability: Pays for damages you cause to someone else’s vehicle or property.
Collision Coverage
This pays for damages to your station wagon resulting from a collision with another vehicle or object, regardless of who is at fault. It’s especially useful if your vehicle is newer or still financed.
Comprehensive Coverage
This covers damage to your vehicle from non-collision-related incidents such as theft, fire, vandalism, hail, or hitting an animal. It’s a good idea if you park outdoors or live in an area prone to severe weather.
Personal Injury Protection (PIP)
Also known as no-fault insurance, this covers medical expenses and lost wages for you and your passengers, regardless of who caused the accident. It’s mandatory in some states.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage
If you’re hit by a driver without insurance or with insufficient coverage, this pays for your injuries and damages.
Gap Insurance
If your station wagon is leased or financed, gap insurance covers the difference between your car’s value and what you still owe if it’s totaled.
Choosing the right combination of these coverages depends on your budget, the value of your station wagon, and how you use it. Regularly reviewing and updating your policy ensures you stay adequately protected. Please reach out with any questions you might have, and we will be happy to help.
