What a car insurance policy actually is
A U.S. car insurance policy is a bundle of distinct coverages (liability, collision, comprehensive, uninsured motorist, PIP or MedPay, plus optional add-ons like gap and roadside) priced by the carrier under a state-approved rating plan. What you pay depends on your state, your driver and vehicle profile, your claim history, and the limits and deductibles you choose. The sections below organize independent editorial coverage of each piece of that decision.
