Most automobile insurance policies have very similar coverage. The difference usually can be narrowed down to an individual preference of coverage. 

 As a customer you can choose to include or exclude the following:

    1.) Collision and/or Comprehensive coverage (comprehensive is also sometimes referred to as “other than Collision”.),
          a.) You may choose the amount of your deductible for each loss.
    2.) Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist
    3.) Personal Injury Protection or Medical
    4.) Rental reimbursement
    5.) Towing and Labor
    6.) Death and/or Disability

In Texas, it is mandatory for all automobile drivers to be able to produce verifiable proof of liability insurance coverage on the car they are driving. Failure to provide this proof can result in a very stiff fine and/or suspension of the driver’s license.

Coverage descriptions are as follows:

                                                      hail damage. (Subject to your chosen deductible.)

     4.) Uninsured/ Underinsured Motorist- Pays you for your injuries and/or property damage to your vehicle sustained in an automobile accident where the other driver was at fault and

     5.) Personal Injury – Pays or anyone riding in your auto for things like medical expenses, funeral expenses, and loss of wages no matter who is at fault up to the specified amount on
