FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the minimum auto insurance required in Alabama?
Alabama requires liability coverage of at least 25/50/25 — that is, $25,000 for injuries per person, $50,000 total per accident, and $25,000 for property damage. This is the legal minimum, not what most drivers actually need. We recommend higher limits for anyone with assets to protect.
What's the difference between liability and full coverage?
Liability pays for damage you cause to other people and their property. Full coverage adds collision (damage to your own car in an accident) and comprehensive (theft, hail, fallen trees, animal strikes). If your car is financed or leased, lenders almost always require full coverage.
How can I lower my auto insurance premium in Alabama?
The biggest levers are raising your deductible, bundling auto with home, maintaining a clean driving record, improving your credit, and using safe-driving programs. Annual policy reviews catch cases where your rate drifted up or your coverage no longer matches your life — and we do those reviews automatically.
Does my auto insurance cover me if I drive to another state?
Yes. A standard Alabama auto policy follows you across state lines for personal travel within the U.S. and Canada. If you're renting a vehicle on a long trip, call us before you go so we can confirm any gaps.
Do you cover motorcycles, boats, and RVs?
Yes — we write separate specialty policies for motorcycles, boats, ATVs, and RVs. These aren't automatically covered by your personal auto policy, so if you own any of them, make sure we know.
