Missouri Car Insurance Coverage
Having Adequate Car Insurance in Missouri
Important Auto Insurance Coverages
Collision Coverage
If your vehicle becomes damaged or destroyed due to an accident with another car or vehicle, regardless of who is at fault, Collision coverage will help to cover the repairs or replace your vehicle up to the actual cash value.
Comprehensive Coverage
This coverage also protects your car, but only if it is damaged by something other than a fixed or moving item. For instance, theft, a rock shattering your glass while traveling on the highway, a wild animal you might hit, and so on.
Property Damage coverage
Let’s say you hit someone’s car, or a guard rail, or a house, or some other piece of property that belongs to someone else. Property damage coverage is the section of your car insurance policy that pays the other party for their losses.
Bodily Injury Liability Coverage
In the event that you hurt another person in an accident, bodily injury coverage protects your financial interests. This is the section of your insurance that covers the other party’s medical bills and expenses. Missouri requires that drivers have bodily injury liability coverage of at least $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident, and property damage liability coverage of at least $10,000 per accident. Missouri requires uninsured motorist coverage of at least $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident. Due to the high expense of medical care, carrying liability insurance coverage that are too low is risky. This is something we can assist you with.
Uninsured Motorist Coverage
& Under-insured Liability Insurance
This policy reimburses you for personal injury if you are hurt by someone else and that person is either unidentified, an uninsured driver or an underinsured motorist that does not have a high enough Bodily Injury Liability limit to cover your expenditures. Because you have no influence over whether or not other people you are driving around with have enough insurance or carry insurance at all, this is also a vital aspect of your auto insurance coverage.
Common Auto Insurance Rating Variables
Credit – For many years, credit has been utilized as a factor in car insurance rates. Your rates will normally be more advantageous if you have good credit.
Car – the type of vehicle, engine size, and safety features, among other factors, all play a role in deciding the Missouri auto insurance rate.
Driving History – the price is heavily influenced by your driving record and loss history. If you have a shady driving record, such as many moving offenses or accidents, you are more likely to be arrested.
Household – Missouri auto insurance companies underwrite at the household level, which means they try to estimate the likelihood of loss based on the entire household. If there are many drivers under the age of 25 in the house, this will have an impact on everyone’s pricing.

Our endorsements provide you even more power and flexibility over your policy, allowing you to make it more personal.
GAP insurance – Protect yourself financially when you owe money on a depreciated vehicle with GAP insurance. GAP insurance covers the difference between what a vehicle is currently worth (which your standard insurance will pay) and the amount you actually owe on it. GAP coverage is an endorsement that may be added to your auto policy. If your vehicle is a total loss, this endorsement will make up the difference between what you owe on your vehicle and what the vehicle is worth – up to $10,000.
