Subaru car insurance coverages

When you’re looking for a Subaru insurance policy, you’ll want to consider a few different coverage types. Some of the most common coverage types include the following:[3]

    Liability coverage

    Most states require drivers to get liability coverage, which includes property damage liability and bodily injury liability. So if you’re in an accident, you’re not liable for injuries to the other party or the damages to their vehicle. Your state will have minimum amounts you must get, but it’s a good idea to increase the levels of coverage for maximum protection.

    Collision coverage

    Liability coverage doesn’t pay for any damages to your vehicle if you have an accident, but collision coverage does. Collision coverage pays for any type of collision, whether it’s with another vehicle or an object. If you get into an accident with another driver or back up into a pole, collision coverage will pay for the damages to your car.

    Comprehensive coverage

    When you get comprehensive coverage, you’re often protecting your car from damage from nearly everything else that’s not collision-related. This includes theft and vandalism as well as floods, fires, falling rocks, and hail. This can round out your level of coverage to protect you from all types of damage.

    Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage

    Though state law requires drivers to have liability insurance, some people still drive uninsured. Getting into an accident with an uninsured driver can make paying for damages challenging. Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage fills that gap and protects you if someone driving without car insurance damages your vehicle.

Methodology

Insurify data scientists analyzed more than 190 million quotes served to car insurance applicants in Insurify’s proprietary database to calculate the premium averages displayed on this page. These premiums are real quotes that come directly from Insurify’s 500+ partner insurance companies in all 50 states and Washington, D.C. Quote averages represent the median price for a quote across the given coverage level, driver subset, and geographic area.

Unless otherwise specified, quoted rates reflect the average cost for drivers between 20 and 70 years old with a clean driving record and average or better credit (a credit score of 600 or higher).

Liability-only premium averages correspond to policies with the following coverage limits:

  • Bodily injury limits between state-minimum rates and $50,000 per person, $100,000 per accident
  • Property damage limits between $10,000 and $50,000
  • No additional coverage
Full-coverage premium averages correspond to the same bodily injury and property damage limits in addition to:
  • Comprehensive coverage with a $1,000 deductible
  • Collision coverage with a $1,000 deductible

Quotes for Allstate, Farmers, GEICO, State Farm, and USAA are estimates based on Quadrant Information Services’ database of auto insurance rates.
