Auto Insurance

What is auto insurance?

Auto insurance is a type of property and casualty (P&C) insurance policy that covers the financial losses that may result from an accident or theft involving a policyholder’s vehicle. It provides the policyholder with peace of mind by protecting them and their vehicle from potential financial devastation. Depending on the policy, it may cover damage, loss, and personal injury, both for the insured customer and for affected third parties.

Insurers offer a wide variety of types of auto insurance coverage. These include:

• Liability insurance. This is the most basic type of auto insurance that drivers are typically required to have. It covers the damage caused by the insured to someone else’s property or injuries the insured causes to someone else in an accident.
• Collision insurance. This type of insurance covers the cost of repairing or replacing the insured’s vehicle if it is damaged in an accident.
• Comprehensive insurance. Comprehensive insurance provides additional coverage for damages to the insured’s vehicle, including those caused by problems such as theft, vandalism, fire, or natural disasters.
• Personal injury protection (PIP). PIP covers medical expenses for the insured and their passenger(s) in the event of an accident, regardless of who was at fault.
• Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. This type of insurance protects the insured if they’re involved in an accident with someone who doesn’t have insurance or doesn’t have enough insurance to cover the damages.

What changes take place in the world of auto insurance?

The auto insurance industry is constantly changing, and technology is playing a major role in that transformation. Here are a few ways that the world of auto insurance is evolving:

• Usage-based insurance. Some insurance companies are now offering usage-based insurance, which uses telematics technology to track how often and how far the insured drives. This allows insurance companies to tailor an individual customer’s premiums based on their actual driving habits.
• Self-driving cars. As self-driving cars become more common, the role of auto insurance may shift from individual drivers to manufacturers and software developers.
• Artificial intelligence (AI). AI is being used to automate claims processing, identify fraud, and improve customer service.
