Compare Auto Insurance in Iowa

Iowa differs somewhat from other states regarding minimum insurance coverage. By law, every motorist is required to provide proof of financial responsibility. This means that if you do not wish to purchase Iowa auto insurance, you must prove to the state that you have unlimited funds available to you to cover any and all damages resulting from an auto accident. Obviously, most citizens do not have this type of savings so purchasing automobile insurance is a much simpler solution.

If you are deemed responsible for an auto accident which results in injury to another person or persons, bodily injury liability coverage provides funds for accident-related medical expenses, lost wages, and pain and suffering. The State of Iowa requires the following minimum coverage amounts to be purchased and maintained by all motorists:

• $20,000 total for bodily injury coverage, per person
• $40,000 total for bodily injury coverage, per accident
• $15,000 total for property damage, per accident

It's important to remember that these amounts are strictly the minimum which the State of Iowa requires to maintain legal coverage. Many times, these minimum numbers are woefully inadequate to fully cover damages which occur in an accident for which you are found legally responsible. To avoid having to pay the cost difference out-of-pocket, you may want to consider choosing higher amounts of insurance coverage when you purchase your own policy.

Your auto insurance agent is a knowledgeable and trusted source for information regarding your state's minimum requirements. Your agent can also offer sound and practical advice when it comes to selecting other types of auto insurance coverage to protect yourself financially. These may include Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage, Collision Coverage, and Comprehensive Coverage.

Tips to saving money on your insurance premiums

• Drive carefully. A clean driving record can add up to big savings when buying insurance.
• Raise your deductible. Remember, the higher your deductible, the lower the cost.
• If you have a teenage driver in the family, ask about teen driver discounts.
• Bundle your insurance policies. Purchasing life, home, auto and other insurance policies from one company can earn you up to 10% off the total cost of your premiums.
• If you're purchasing a new vehicle, get an insurance quote before you buy. Insurance prices can vary dramatically depending on the make and model of the car you purchase.
• Improve your credit score. Many insurance companies use your credit score to determine the amount of your premium. Check your credit score before applying for insurance to make sure it is accurate and up-to-date.

By taking advantage of these money-saving tips and working with a professional insurance agent, you can be confident that you are getting the lowest possible rate on your auto insurance policy!
