Collision

Towing or Roadside Assistance
Coverage for expenses related to towing your vehicle or breakdown.

Rental Reimbursement
Coverage for renting a temporary substitute vehicle if your car is not operable after a collision or comprehensive related loss.

Auto insurance can be purchased by itself or it can be combined with your homeowners, condo unit owners or renters insurance. Many times other coverages such as umbrella liability or valuable articles coverage can also be packaged. There are discounts for packaging multiple coverages in one policy as well time savings related to having one bill and one renewal date.

*** Auto liability limits can be increased through the purchase of an umbrella liability policy which can provide excess liability limits in million dollar increments. The umbrella limits can provide excess liability limit over the personal liability limit of your auto, watercraft and homeowners, condo unit owners or renters insurance policies.
