Coverage Types
Liability Insurance
Colorado's 25/50/15 minimum is inadequate for senior drivers with accumulated assets; 100/300/100 limits protect home equity and retirement savings from lawsuit exposure following serious accidents.
Uninsured Motorist Coverage
Protects you when hit by Colorado's approximately 13% uninsured driver population, covering medical costs and vehicle damage that Medicare and basic liability won't address.
Comprehensive Coverage
Covers hail damage, wildlife collisions, and theft without affecting your driving record or rates. For vehicles worth over $4,000, comprehensive typically justifies its cost; below that threshold, self-insurance may make more financial sense.
Medical Payments Coverage
Pays medical bills immediately after an accident, covering Medicare deductibles, copays, and treatment gaps before Medicare processes claims. Particularly valuable for senior drivers managing multiple healthcare coverage sources.
Collision Coverage
Pays to repair or replace your vehicle after an at-fault accident. Senior drivers with paid-off vehicles over 10 years old should calculate whether annual collision premiums plus deductible exceed the vehicle's actual cash value.
Roadside Assistance
Provides towing, jump-starts, flat tire changes, and lockout service for $5–$12/month. Valuable for senior drivers who may be physically unable to change a tire or prefer not to wait for commercial towing.
