What Auto Insurance Coverage Should I Have?
Choosing the right auto insurance coverage is crucial for your unique needs. At SOS Insurance Agency, our experienced agents can help you navigate the options and tailor a policy to your specifications. Here are some factors to consider:
- Your state’s requirements—Ensure your policy meets or exceeds the minimum coverage mandated by the state of Alabama.
- Vehicle value—The value of your vehicle may impact the coverage you need. Newer or more valuable cars may require comprehensive coverage.
- Personal assets—Consider your personal assets when determining liability coverage. This protects your assets in the event of a lawsuit.
- Driving habits—If you frequently commute long distances or have a history of accidents, you may want to adjust your coverage accordingly.
- Additional coverage—Explore add-ons like roadside assistance or rental car reimbursement for enhanced protection.

Does My Policy Cover Rental Cars?
In most cases, your personal auto insurance policy can cover rental cars. If you have liability coverage, it typically extends to rental cars, covering damage or injuries you may cause to others. Additionally, if your policy includes comprehensive and collision coverage, it usually applies to rental cars, potentially covering damage from accidents, theft or vandalism.
Personal injury protection (PIP) or medical payments coverage will generally cover medical expenses for you and your passengers in a rental car. However, it’s always a good idea to review your policy details or speak with your insurance agent to understand your specific coverage and any potential exclusions.
Does Auto Insurance Cover Vehicle Theft or Vandalism?
Auto insurance typically helps cover the cost of vehicle theft and vandalism if you have comprehensive coverage. This type of coverage might protect against noncollision-related damage, including theft and vandalism, as well as floods and fires.
When you file a claim for theft or vandalism, you’ll typically need to pay your deductible first, and then your insurance company may cover the remaining costs up to your policy limits. It’s important to review your policy details to understand the specific coverage and any exclusions, and you can always reach out to your insurance agent for clarification.
