While liability insurance covers damages to other parties when you are at fault in an accident, optional car insurance coverages are available to provide additional protection for your vehicle and personal circumstances. Here are some key optional coverages that you may consider to enhance your auto insurance policy:
- Collision coverage: Collision coverage helps pay for repairs or replacement of your vehicle if it is damaged in an accident, regardless of who is at fault. It’s particularly valuable if you own a newer or higher-value vehicle.
- Comprehensive coverage: Comprehensive coverage offers protection against risks that don’t involve a collision with another vehicle, including theft, vandalism, fire, natural disasters, and collisions with animals.
- Medical payments coverage: Often referred to as MedPay, this coverage assists with medical expenses for you and your passengers, regardless of fault, following an accident.
What Does Virginia Beach Auto Insurance Not Cover?
Auto insurance in Virginia Beach provides essential protection, but there are several instances where coverage might not apply. Here are common exclusions in auto insurance policies:
- Personal belongings: Items stolen from your vehicle, such as electronics, personal valuables, or even beach gear left after a day at Sandbridge, are not covered under standard auto insurance policies. Homeowners or renters insurance typically covers these items.
- Wear and tear: Regular maintenance issues or the natural deterioration of your vehicle are not covered.
- Business use: Using your personal vehicle for business purposes, such as making deliveries or transporting customers around tourist hotspots like the Boardwalk, typically requires business auto insurance coverage.
