By: J.D. Triplett, Researcher
Before you call an agent for compulsory auto insurance, it helps to know what coverages (types of insurance) you will be needing to protect yourself and your family. This quick guide shows all the different types available.
Austinites know that a smart practice is to do some quick brushing-up on the different types of coverages available before trying to purchase a policy. In doing so it becomes more hard for unscrupulousAustin agents to fool you into expensive coverage you don’t need (therefore saving you cash).

Other Austin Texas Coverage’s Types.
Let’s Get Started:
Austin’s Liability Coverage. A local agent, Phil from Progressive, stated that Liability Coverage’s are considered necessary types in Austin Texas, due to the nature and frequency of lawsuits that surface in the wake of car accidents.
Another rep (from AIG) wisely commented: “if you can’t pay the bill upfront, you could end up paying for it for the rest of your life” (great advice).
So whether you live in Beaumont, or Zip Code 78758, it is wise (great practice) for you to get as much Liability coverage as you can afford. At a minimum, Phil from Progressive stated that Austinites should at least get enough Liability coverage to match the value of their assets (house, car, savings, etc.).

Austin’s Physical Damage Coverages. I can guarantee you that even Mayor Will Wynn has at least 2 of the Austin automobile insurance coverage types listed above (why don’t you call to ask him: Ph: (512) 974-2250 - Fax: (512) 974-2337).
Simply put, Physical Damage coverage’s intent is to help pay to replace your 1999 Nissan Sentra, if you are involved in an accident.

Hot Tip: Don’t waste cash on buying Towing Coverage from your local Austin assurance agency. Instead join a AAA (local Austin’s Branch: (512) 444-4757 - 4970 Highway 290 West, Suite 310), and get Towing Service for much cheaper, along with a host of other roadside assistance services.

Hot Tip: If you have a good personal medical insurance policy, you might not need extensive medical-related vehicle insurance coverage. Joan from Safeco stated that many Austinites forget that their regular medical assurance policies overlap with the coverages provided via auto-related medical coverage.

Phil from Progressive stated that he’s heard many horror stories of Austin-locals being hit by individuals that didn’t have insurance. Amazingly, these victims don’t get paid by their insurer because the accident was not their fault (unscrupulous but true). But since the other uninsured Austin driver didn’t have proper insurance, the victims are still expected to shoulder the costs! Yikes Man!!!!
Continuing On……….
Amazingly, Austinites can save cash by being great shoppers. Avoid unscrupulous Austin agents’ B.S. sales tactics and silly lies by being aware of which Austin auto insurance coverage types (aka car insurance coverage) are applicable to you (great).
