How a Vehicle Can Affect Auto Insurance
Insurers may consider the vehicle’s value, age, body type, performance, safety equipment, theft risk, repair cost, title history, intended use, and other factors. The VIN helps identify the exact vehicle configuration so an insurer can apply the correct rating information when preparing a quote.
Common Types of Auto Insurance Coverage
Coverage names and requirements vary by state and insurer. A licensed insurance professional can explain the options available for your location and vehicle.
Collision Coverage
May help pay for damage to the insured vehicle after a covered collision, usually subject to a deductible.
Comprehensive Coverage
May cover certain non-collision losses such as theft, vandalism, weather, fire, or animal-related damage.
Medical or Injury Protection
Medical payments or personal injury protection may cover certain injury-related expenses, depending on state rules and policy terms.
Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist
May help when an at-fault driver has no insurance or insufficient coverage, subject to state availability and policy terms.
Gap Coverage
May help with the difference between a covered total-loss settlement and an eligible loan or lease balance.
Roadside Assistance
May include towing, jump-start service, lockout assistance, flat-tire help, or emergency fuel delivery.
Rental Reimbursement
May help pay for a temporary rental vehicle after a covered loss while the insured vehicle is being repaired.

A quote is more useful when the insurer receives accurate information about the vehicle, drivers, location, and intended coverage.
- The complete VIN and current mileage.
- The primary garaging address and ZIP code.
- Driver information and applicable driving history.
- Expected annual mileage, commute distance, and vehicle use.
- Current insurance information, when applicable.
