Coverage Types
Liability Insurance
Covers injuries and property damage you cause to others. Rhode Island's 25/50/25 minimum leaves retirement assets exposed in serious accidents.
Uninsured Motorist Coverage
Protects you when hit by drivers without insurance or in hit-and-run accidents. Rhode Island automatically includes this unless rejected in writing.
Collision Coverage
Pays to repair your vehicle after an accident regardless of fault. Not required for paid-off vehicles.
Comprehensive Coverage
Covers theft, vandalism, weather damage, and animal strikes. Optional in Rhode Island unless financing requires it.
