Gap Insurance
Gap Insurance

That is why many car insurance companies offer gap insurance (loan/lease payoff insurance) as an optional coverage that is available with physical damage coverage. Typically, a stand-alone gap policy is sold by a car dealer at a higher cost.

Liability Coverage
Liability Coverage

Auto liability insurance is a type of car insurance coverage that's required by law in most states. If you cause an accident, liability coverage helps pay for the other person's expenses. There are two types of auto liability coverage that drivers in each state must have: bodily injury liability coverage and property damage liability coverage.

Medical Payments Coverage
Medical Payments Coverage

Medical payments (also known as medical expense or MedPay) coverage helps pay for medical and funeral expenses associated with auto accidents. It is an option available with auto insurance policies and usually covers expenses for the policyholder, passengers, and family members driving the insured vehicle at the time of an accident. The policy can also extend to cover any injuries you sustain outside of a car, as we'll explain below. Coverage applies no matter who is at fault.

Personal Injury Protection Insurance
Personal Injury Protection Insurance

PIP stands for personal insurance protection (personal injury protection), and it is an extension of car insurance that covers medical expenses and, in many cases, lost wages. It is often called “no-fault” coverage because its inherent comprehensiveness pays out claims agnostic of who is at fault in the accident.
