What Kind of Insurance Do You Need for Your Kia Forte? 

When it comes to car insurance there are several that you'll want to consider for your Kia Forte. Some insurances are state-mandated, while others are optional based on your driving habits and needs. Whether an insurance policy is mandatory or not shouldn't matter; you'll want to make sure you're carrying a sufficient level of insurance to protect you from any potential risk. 

The following coverages are state-mandated:

• Bodily injury liability:  Coverage that pays for claims resulting from injury or death that is caused in an accident where you're at fault. 
• Property damage liability: Coverage that pays to reimburse or replace another person's property or vehicle that is damaged in an accident where you're at fault. 

While most states will have a minimum required amount of liability coverage, it's a good idea to work with your insurance agent to assure the amount of liability you purchase is actually enough to cover you in an event.

Some states will also require the following policies: 

•  Medical payments/Personal injury protection: If you or your passengers are injured in an accident, this coverage will pay for any medical expenses or lost wages resulting from the accident.
• Uninsured motorist coverage: It's more common than you might think for individuals to be driving without insurance or without sufficient coverage. Getting in an accident with an uninsured motorist can be detrimental to your finances. Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage protects you when another driver causes an accident but fails to carry adequate coverage. 

Optional coverage to consider: 

• Collision insurance: Coverage if your vehicle sustains damaged from a collision with another vehicle or an object and you're at fault. For example, running into a mailbox. 
• Comprehensive insurance: Protection against everything that's not covered in collision insurance. This includes theft, natural disasters, storms, and other mishaps like colliding with an animal. 
• Glass coverage: Replacing a windshield can cost a decent amount of money. It's also illegal to drive with a cracked windshield. Glass coverage tends to have no-deductible and provides coverage for a low premium. 
• Gap insurance: If you find yourself owing more for your car than it's worth, consider purchasing gap insurance. This will pay the difference that you owe on your vehicle if you get into an accident and the car is deemed a total loss.
