What is Auto Insurance

Texas requires drivers to show they can pay for accidents they cause. Most drivers meet this requirement by carrying auto liability insurance. Texas’ minimum liability limits are commonly known as 30/60/25, which provides up to $30,000 for injuries to one person, $60,000 for injuries in one accident, and $25,000 for property damage. Many drivers choose higher limits for additional financial protection.

Liability coverage helps pay for injuries and property damage you cause to others in an accident. Collision coverage can help pay to repair or replace your vehicle after a covered collision, while comprehensive coverage can help with certain non-collision losses such as theft, fire, vandalism, and some weather-related damage.

​

Texas drivers can also consider uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage, which can provide protection if you are involved in an accident with someone who has no insurance or not enough insurance. Other options, such as personal injury protection, medical payments, and rental reimbursement coverage, may also be available depending on your needs.

The cost of auto insurance can vary from one driver to another. Insurance companies may consider factors such as driving history, claims history, vehicle type, location, coverage limits, deductibles, and other factors when determining premiums.

​

That’s why comparing auto insurance isn’t just about finding the lowest price. It’s important to compare the coverage you’re receiving along with the premium.

Shopping for auto insurance can be confusing because different insurance companies may offer different prices and coverage options. As an independent insurance agency, Tim James Agency can help Texas drivers compare available options and better understand what their policies cover.
