Why Purchase Killeen Car Insurance?

All Texas motorists are required to carry liability insurance on their vehicles. Comprehensive coverage may be required by your lender if you have financed the purchase of your automobile, but is otherwise optional.

Killeen Car Insurance Provides Liability Coverage

All car insurance policies in this state must meet the Texas state-required minimums for liability coverage. This required coverage is designed to protect both you and any third party that may be involved in an automobile collision with you. There are stiff penalties for failure to carry the required insurance coverage. First offenders face fines of $175 to $350; subsequent offenders are subject to fines of $350 to $1,000, impoundment of their vehicle, and license suspension

Texas Car Insurance Requirements:

• Bodily injury liability: required
• Property damage liability: required
• Personal Injury Protection (PIP): not required
• Uninsured motorist: not required
• Minimum liability limits: 30/60/25
  • Coverage up to $60,000 for all persons injured in an accident, subject to a limit of $30,000 for one individual, and $25,000 coverage for property damage

These minimum coverage amounts are nearly always adequate to cover the costs associated with low-to-moderate impact collisions. However, in the event of a serious accident, you may find yourself responsible for extensive medical treatments or property damage costs that go beyond these coverage amounts. If this happens, you may be responsible for paying the difference out of pocket.

You can avoid this financial risk by raising the liability coverage on your Texas car insurance or by purchasing a separate umbrella insurance policy. A Trusted Choice network agent can help you determine which option is the most cost-effective for your particular situation.

Texas Uninsured Motorists:

• National uninsured motorists: 12.6%
• Texas uninsured motorists: 13.3%
• Average vehicle repair cost in Texas: $2,434

Despite the penalties associated with failure to have insurance, more than 13% of the drivers in this state are driving without it. Uninsured motorist coverage isn't required, but getting it is a good idea. That way, if you are involved in a collision with an uninsured or hit-and-run driver, you can still receive compensation for your injuries and damages.

Should Your Killeen Car Insurance Include Comprehensive Coverage?

In addition to liability coverage, you can select from several other coverage options, including comprehensive coverage. While many lenders require this coverage if you finance the purchase of your car, once you own the vehicle outright, it becomes optional. This additional insurance can provide you with reimbursement for losses or damage caused by falling objects, inclement weather, fire, vandalism or theft.

Number of Thefts in Texas:

• National vehicle thefts (per 1,000 registered vehicles): 2.49
