What does Spokane car insurance actually do for me?
The roads in Spokane can become wet, snowy and dangerous.Car insurance can help you pay for car repairs and injuries if you cause an accident. It can also help you pay for your own car if it is damaged or totaled.
Just know that if you are involved in a serious accident, you need enough coverage to help you recover financially, and the minimum coverage required by your state may not be enough.
Spokane Car Insurance Requirements
- Bodily Injury Liability: $25,000 per person, $50,000 per accident required
- Property Damage Liability: $10,000 required
- Personal Injury Protection (PIP): Not required
Who pays if the accident wasn’t my fault?
The driver who caused the accident, of course. Approximately 17.4% of Spokane drivers are uninsured. Without insurance coverage, they probably can’t pay if they are at fault for an accident.
That is why Spokane drivers need “uninsured motorist coverage.” If an uninsured driver hits you, uninsured motorist coverage pays to fix your vehicle and helps with your medical bills.
Although some states require all drivers to have a minimum amount of uninsured motorist coverage, Washington does not require you to have this type coverage with your policy.
What affects The Cost of Spokane Car Insurance?
Your monthly Spokane car insurance payment is based on several of your personal characteristics that help your insurance company predict how risky you are as a driver. These risk factors include the following:
- Your age
- Your gender
- Your marital status
- Your ZIP code
- Your driving record
- The kind of car you drive
- The number of cars and drivers in your household
The type of car you drive plays a huge role in what you pay for car insurance. If a car is more likely to be involved in a crash or costs more than average to repair or replace, it will cost more to insure.
Hybrids and electric cars, for example, are more difficult and costly to repair. If you are thinking of purchasing a hybrid, be prepared for a hike in your insurance rates.
Sports cars also cost more to insure than other types of cars. Sports car drivers have a greater likelihood of speeding and being in a crash. If you want to save money on your Spokane car insurance, a minivan or sedan may be a wiser choice.
Commute Time
The more time you spend on the road, the more likely it is that you'll be in an accident. Car insurance costs more for drivers with long commutes. Commute times in Spokane tend to be shorter than the national average, helping to keep car insurance rates down.
- National average: 25.4 minutes
- Spokane average: 18.7 minutes
Number of Auto Thefts in Spokane
- National number of thefts for 1,000 vehicles: 2.94
- Number of thefts for 1,000 vehicles in Spokane: 8.19
Car theft can be a problem in Spokane, and car insurance is a necessity to help you recover financially if you are a victim.
Thefts and break-ins can be costly. Most stolen cars have to be replaced. Even if your car is eventually found, it likely will have been stripped for parts and totaled.
After a break-in, your windows and locks will need repairs, and any stolen personal property must be replaced.
A Spokane car insurance policy can help you sleep easy. Your insurance company can help you receive timely assistance and compensation so you can get back on the road with confidence.
