How to ensure you have enough coverage on your Model Y
At a bare minimum, you must have liability coverage to drive legally in every state except New Hampshire. But you also have the option to purchase more extensive coverage, which many drivers do to make sure they have financial protection in the event of an incident. Some common additional coverages include:
Collision coverage
Collision coverage pays for the replacement of your vehicle if a collision with another car or object damages your vehicle. It also helps you cover the costs of repairing your car, regardless of who’s at fault in the accident.
Comprehensive coverage
Comprehensive coverage provides protection against non-collision events, such as theft, vandalism, natural disasters, and hitting an animal. It covers the costs of repairing or replacing your vehicle following damages from a non-collision incident.
Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage
Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage protects you if you’re in an accident with a driver who either doesn’t have insurance or doesn’t have enough insurance to cover the damages. Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage helps pay for medical bills, lost wages, and vehicle repairs in such situations.
Personal injury protection (PIP) coverage
Personal injury protection (PIP) coverage assists in paying medical expenses for you and your passengers after an accident, regardless of who’s at fault. It covers costs like hospital visits, surgeries, and rehabilitation, providing additional financial support for necessary medical treatments.
