Coverage Options and Customization
Typical policies combine several layers:
- Liability – State‑minimum limits plus optional higher limits.
- Collision – Covers damage to your vehicle after an accident.
- Comprehensive – Protects against theft, vandalism, and weather‑related damage.
- Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist – Essential in a city where some drivers may not carry enough coverage.
- Roadside Assistance – 24/7 towing, lock‑out service, and flat‑bed towing within the New Orleans metro area.
Customers can add "personal injury protection" for medical costs and "gap insurance" if they're leasing or financing a newer vehicle. Each add‑on is priced separately, allowing drivers to match coverage to budget and risk tolerance.
