Vehicle insurance protects owners from financial loss in the event of an accident, theft or damage. It also secures the financial reimbursement and treatment of individuals who are injured in an auto accident. Vehicle insurance is a contractual agreement made between the vehicle insurance companies and the auto owner whereby the insurance company agrees to pay for losses and the auto owner agrees to pay a pre-determined amount in premiums. Premiums are calculated based on a vehicle owner's age, driving record and deductable amount.

Auto insurance companies offer property, liability, medical, collision, comprehensive and uninsured or underinsured coverage.

Property coverage will pay for vehicle damage and theft. Liability coverage will satisfy the legal responsibility to reimburse a person who has been physically harmed in an auto accident. Medical coverage will pay for any costs associated with treating a person's injuries, rehabilitation, forfeited wages and even funeral expenses in the event of a traffic related death. Collision covers any damage to a vehicle that is caused by an accident with another car or object. It will also cover any damage caused by potholes. Comprehensive coverage takes care of damages that are not caused by traffic accidents, such as vandalism or the weather. Comprehensive coverage will also protect vehicle owners in cases where the car, truck or SUV have been stolen. Uninsured insurance will pay for vehicle damage or bodily harm caused by an uninsured or underinsured driver.
