What is basic auto insurance and is it right for me?
In Arizona, basic auto insurance is liability coverage. The amount required is 25/50/15. What that means is $25,000 for medical expenses for the first person hurt in an accident and $50,000 for all the injuries in that accident. $15,000 is for damage to property. While this may seem adequate, it can be very minimal when you consider what a hospital stay can cost these days. The cost of repainting a vehicle can also be much higher than $15,000 with vehicle prices averaging $47,000. You can see the problem.
If you are leasing your vehicle or have a car loan, this basic amount will not be acceptable. You will need to protect the vehicle and that requires full coverage. Collision covers collisions and comprehensive covers lots of other things including theft, vandalism, flood, and damage from deer, just to name a few.
After your car loan is paid off, you are not required to have full coverage. However, if you are like most people, you depend on your vehicle to do the normal activities of daily life. Many people live in areas where public transportation is not readily available. A vehicle is a necessity. If you have an accident where you are responsible or are the only driver, how would you pay to have your vehicle repaired? If it is a hardship, it is worth thinking about having collision and comprehensive coverage.
