Auto Insurance

We insure quality drivers in the states of WA, ID, OR, and CA.

These states are what are known as "tort" states, which means that drivers bear financial responsibility for any damage and injury they cause in an accident. Liability insurance helps fulfill this responsibility, and is required by law.

Basic Liability Coverage is REQUIRED, but more protection is highly recommended.

Besides the basic required liability insurance, drivers have many other options available to them. First of all, the amount of coverage may be increased. Besides liability and property damage coverage, there is personal injury coverage, uninsured motorist insurance, coverage against theft and vandalism, comprehensive protection against general physical damage to your car, etc.

How are auto insurance rates set?

In general, rates are set based on quality of each state's drivers as a whole, that is, how much is paid in settlements, etc. However, many other factors play a role as well. These include your personal driving record, your age and where you live. But that's not the end of the story! Different insurance companies measure these factors differently. There might be vast differences in what you would have to pay, depending on the company and the plan you sign up with.
