Coverage Types
Liability Insurance
Nevada's 25/50/20 minimum is inadequate for senior drivers with assets to protect. Most financial advisors recommend 100/300/100 or higher for retirees with home equity, retirement accounts, or other assets that could be targeted in a lawsuit following a serious accident.
Uninsured Motorist Coverage
Protects you when hit by Nevada's substantial population of uninsured drivers (approximately 13% statewide). UM/UIM coverage pays your medical bills, lost income, and vehicle damage when the at-fault driver has no insurance or insufficient coverage to pay your full claim.
Comprehensive Coverage
Covers theft, vandalism, weather damage, and animal collisions common on Nevada's rural highways where deer and wild horses create hazards. For senior drivers with paid-off vehicles, the key calculation is whether annual premium plus deductible approaches 20–25% of vehicle value.
Medical Payments Coverage
Pays medical expenses for you and passengers regardless of fault, typically in amounts of $1,000–$10,000. For senior drivers on Medicare, MedPay can cover deductibles, copays, and expenses Medicare doesn't pay after an accident.
Collision Coverage
Pays to repair or replace your vehicle after an accident regardless of fault. The cost-benefit calculation for senior drivers depends entirely on vehicle value — if collision premium plus deductible equals 15–20% of what your car is worth, you're essentially self-insuring at high cost.
Full Coverage
Combines liability, comprehensive, and collision with UM/UIM coverage for complete protection. For senior drivers, the question is whether comprehensive and collision remain cost-justified as vehicles age and depreciate while premiums stay relatively constant.
