Coverage Types
Full Coverage Package
Combines liability, collision, comprehensive, and uninsured motorist coverage for complete protection. For senior drivers with financed vehicles or newer cars worth over $8,000–$10,000, this package protects both your assets and your vehicle investment.
Liability-Only Coverage
Covers only damages you cause to others, meeting Ohio's legal minimum without paying for physical damage to your own vehicle. Many senior drivers with vehicles worth under $4,000 choose this option and redirect savings to higher liability limits that protect retirement assets.
Uninsured Motorist Coverage
Pays your medical bills and vehicle damage when the at-fault driver has no insurance or insufficient coverage. This becomes especially important for senior drivers whose out-of-pocket medical costs can be substantial even with Medicare coverage.
Comprehensive Coverage
Covers non-collision damage including theft, vandalism, hail, and deer strikes. Ohio drivers file over 20,000 deer collision claims annually, with peak risk in October through December across both rural and suburban areas.
Medical Payments Coverage
Pays medical expenses for you and your passengers after an accident regardless of fault, covering deductibles and costs that health insurance doesn't immediately pay. Limits typically range from $1,000 to $10,000 per person.
High-Limit Liability
Increases bodily injury and property damage limits to 100/300/100 or higher to protect retirement savings, home equity, and other assets accumulated over decades. The cost difference between minimum coverage and higher limits is often just $20–$40/month.
