Is basic auto insurance ever enough?

Arlington, TX is located between Dallas and Fort Worth. As a suburb, many people drive to either of the cities to work or for entertainment. Having a car is a necessity, and when you have a car in Texas, you need to have auto insurance. Ensuring you have the correct coverage for your needs is vital; no one wants to pay for more than they need. At InsPeak in Arlington, TX, we have an experienced team dedicated to making sure every customer gets the personal service they deserve.

In the state of Texas, basic auto insurance is liability coverage only. The state mandates it. The coverage you must carry is $30,000 in injury per person and $60,000 for all the injuries in an accident. Additionally, you must have 25,000 in property damage coverage. This is enough auto insurance if you don’t have many assets, but if you own a home and have savings or investments, you might want to consider having a higher level of liability protection. Given the amount a judgment could amount to and the cost of legal representation, you might find basic insurance isn’t enough. 

Basic insurance doesn’t provide any protection for your vehicle. If your vehicle is financed, chances are you will be required to carry additional insurance to protect the vehicle. If you own your vehicle outright, and it is worth more than a few thousand dollars, having additional insurance can be a benefit to you. Collision coverage will repair or replace your vehicle in the event you are at fault in an accident. Comprehensive insurance protects your vehicle from theft, vandalism, and perils beyond your control. 

In the simplest terms, basic insurance may be enough but talking to your insurance agent will help you decide the right amount. Contact InsPeak in Arlington, TX for all your auto insurance needs.
