UNDERSTANDING YOUR COVERAGE
What Auto Insurance Coverage Do You Need in Texas?
Texas drivers need liability insurance that meets the state's minimum requirements, but minimum coverage may not provide enough protection for every driver. Depending on your vehicle, finances and risk, you may also want collision, comprehensive, uninsured/underinsured motorist and other optional coverages.
Liability Coverage
Helps cover injuries and property damage you're legally responsible for after an accident, up to your policy limits.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist
Can help protect you when an at-fault driver has no insurance—or not enough insurance to cover your loss.
Collision Coverage
Helps pay to repair or replace your vehicle after a covered collision, regardless of who caused the accident.
Personal Injury Protection (PIP)
Can help with covered medical expenses, lost income and certain other costs after an auto accident, regardless of fault.
Comprehensive Coverage
Helps cover non-collision damage to your vehicle, such as theft, hail, fire, vandalism and certain animal-related losses.
Rental Reimbursement
Can help pay for a rental vehicle while your covered vehicle is being repaired after a covered loss, subject to your policy limits.
TEXAS AUTO INSURANCE REQUIREMENTS
What Are the Minimum Auto Insurance Requirements in Texas?
Texas law requires drivers to show they can pay for accidents they cause. Most drivers meet this requirement by carrying auto liability insurance with at least 30/60/25 limits.
$30,000
Bodily Injury Liability
Per Person
$60,000
Bodily Injury Liability
Per Accident
$25,000
Property Damage Liability
Per Accident
Minimum Doesn't Always Mean Enough
Texas minimum liability limits may satisfy the legal requirement, but they might not cover the full cost of a serious accident. Higher liability limits can provide additional protection if injuries or property damage exceed your policy limits.
TEXAS AUTO INSURANCE RATES
Why Is Auto Insurance So Expensive in Texas?
Auto insurance rates in Texas can be affected by several factors, including repair costs, vehicle values, severe weather, claims trends, where you live, your driving history, the vehicle you insure and the coverage you choose. Because insurance companies price risk differently, rates can vary significantly from one company to another.
Your Current Company Isn't Your Only Option.
As an independent insurance agency, HC Premier can compare options from multiple insurance companies. That means when rates change, we can look beyond one company to help you find a better combination of coverage and price.
AUTO INSURANCE COVERAGE EXPLAINED
Liability vs. “Full Coverage”: What's the Difference?
Liability insurance helps pay for injuries and property damage you cause to others, subject to your policy limits. “Full coverage” isn't a specific type of insurance policy. It's a common term people use to describe a policy that typically includes liability, comprehensive and collision coverage.
LIABILITY COVERAGE
Generally helps cover:
✓ Injuries you cause to others
✓ Damage you cause to someone else's property
✓ Legal defense for covered claims
But here's the catch:
“Full coverage” doesn’t mean everything is covered. Your protection still depends on the limits, deductibles, exclusions, and coverages you choose.
“FULL COVERAGE”
Usually refers to a policy that includes:
✓ Liability
✓ Collision
✓ Comprehensive
What about your vehicle?
Liability coverage generally doesn’t pay to repair your own vehicle after a collision you cause.
AUTO INSURANCE QUESTIONS
Texas Auto Insurance FAQs
Straight answers to common questions Texas drivers have about auto insurance, coverage and rates.
Do I need uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage in Texas?
No. Texas doesn't require drivers to carry uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. Insurance companies must offer UM/UIM coverage, however, and if you choose not to carry it, you must reject it in writing. UM/UIM can help protect you when an at-fault driver has no insurance or doesn't have enough insurance to cover your damages.
Does auto insurance cover hail damage in Texas?
Comprehensive coverage can help pay for hail damage to your vehicle, subject to your deductible and policy terms. Liability-only coverage doesn't pay for hail damage to your own vehicle, so it's important to check whether comprehensive coverage is included on your policy.
Why did my auto insurance rate go up if I didn't have an accident?
Your rate can increase even if you haven't had an accident. Insurance companies consider many factors when setting rates, including repair costs, vehicle values, claims trends, weather losses, where you live, changes in coverage and other rating factors. Each insurance company evaluates risk differently, which is one reason comparing companies can be valuable.
Does my auto insurance cover a rental car?
Your personal auto policy may provide some coverage when you drive a rental vehicle, but policies differ and exclusions can apply. Rental reimbursement is separate coverage that can help pay for a temporary vehicle while your car is being repaired after a covered loss. Check your policy or ask your agent before assuming you're covered.
Can an independent insurance agency help me switch insurance companies?
Yes. An independent insurance agency can compare options from multiple insurance companies and help you evaluate coverage, deductibles and price. If another company is a better fit, HC Premier can help make the transition while keeping your coverage needs in mind.
How often should I compare auto insurance rates?
It's worth reviewing your auto insurance at renewal and whenever something significant changes, such as adding a vehicle or driver, moving, or seeing a substantial rate increase. That doesn't mean you should switch companies every time—sometimes your current policy is still the best option.
