Car Insurance Coverage Factors to Consider

Estimating how much car insurance costs and the coverages you need can be difficult, but GEICO has you covered! Learn the many factors to consider when selecting the best auto coverage for you and your family.

Life Events

Things that can greatly impact your auto insurance coverage needs include:

  1. Life events like a change in marital status or moving.
  2. Relocating to another state.
  3. Owning a home (might necessitate higher limits for enhanced protection).

Our car insurance calculator factors in life changes such as marital status and homeownership to provide customized cost estimates and coverage suggestions.

Coverage

You can customize the amount of coverage you buy for your situation. You'll need to consider if you want the lowest amount of coverage your situation allows. Will your coverage provide the protection that fits your needs? Or do you prefer a higher level of coverage to provide you with peace of mind in the event of an accident?

Vehicle Ownership

Is your vehicle financed or leased? This may impact the car insurance coverage you are required to have. The value of your vehicle may determine if you want to carry certain optional coverages as well. Our car insurance calculator takes these things into account when estimating your coverage needs.

Time Spent Driving

The amount of time you spend on the road matters when determining how much coverage you may want to carry. More time driving can increase your risk of being in an accident, so you may want to carry more coverage. Our car insurance calculator takes this into account when estimating your coverage.
