Auto insurance companies sell different forms of coverage. The mainstream ones include:

An insurance agent can help you with the analysis so that you can choose the most appropriate coverage.
An auto insurance deductible is necessary for some forms of coverage. The deductible is the amount you must pay when your insurer approves your claim. Insurance companies often have minimum deductibles that you can increase depending on your circumstances.
Use these tips to customize your deductible:

State law mandates minimum liability coverage that each motorist must carry. However, insurance companies allow you to buy more coverage, which you should. Here are tips to help you match your liability limit to your circumstances:

However, paying in advance, either semi-annually or annually, is best if your income is irregular. Advance payments ensure you don't default on your premiums even if your income delays by a month or so.
