When talking about basic car insurance, it means obtaining the right coverage for you not the lowest priced with less coverage. The main reason why the law demands drivers or car owners to have auto insurance is to guard you or the drivers as well as the passengers for financial security in case of a car accident.

Everybody knows, the level of car insurance varies from state to state where each company has different minimum rates. Most of the basic automotive policies contain six or five types of coverage based on what state you live in.

The 5 basic kinds of coverage are:

1 Comprehensive and Collision- In collision, this covers losses to your automobile when you are in an accident or collision while the comprehensive takes care of the non accident physical damage to your auto or vehicle due to storms.

2 Liability coverage-In this coverage, you find written 3 numbers 20/40/10. The first number signifies the amount of thousands, if the person has a major accident and is hurt or killed it will be $20000 he will get. The second number represents if ever for example, somebody hit your auto and you hit another person's house then you are covered for each person that is hurt.

But bear in mind, that will be up to 2 person only, then you should multiply the first number to the 2nd number, that is why it would be 40. So 2 multiplied by $20000 is $40000. The entire damages to everyone involved including your car would pay out $40000. The final number which is $10000 is the amount the person who owned the property where your car hit will receive from your insurance company.

3 Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist Coverage - safeguards you when the negligence driver has absolutely no insurance or has inadequate automotive insurance which covers bodily injury losses only but in certain states, it includes property destructions or losses.

4 Medical expenses (No fault and Personal Injury Protection)-For the policy holder and other riders that are in the policyholder's auto.

5 Property injury-Covers property destruction to the third parties or another driver's car you struck or damage at your mistake.

If ever you can afford to add more coverage for your needs, then you could get more such as towing or labor insurance coverage etc. If you want to purchase less expensive automotive insurance for another car, then you can find different ways to find by shopping and requesting quotes on different insurance companies or agents.

Its good to have a very good driving history, as well as high credit history, etc. If not, you can go online through the internet, log on to various insurance websites and ask for free insurance coverage quotes for your own auto.

When you are generally online, you can also examine the insurance provider for their records to know if they will be good, reliable and reputable as well.
