Uninsured Motorist Coverage for Seniors 65+
Uninsured Motorist Coverage pays for your injuries and vehicle damage when you're hit by a driver with no insurance or who flees the scene.
Compare Senior Car Insurance RatesWhat Is Uninsured Motorist Coverage Insurance?
Uninsured Motorist Coverage has two parts: Bodily Injury (UMBI) pays your medical bills, lost income, and pain/suffering when an uninsured or hit-and-run driver injures you, up to your policy limits. Uninsured Motorist Property Damage (UMPD) covers vehicle repairs when the at-fault driver has no insurance. For seniors 65+, UMBI is particularly important because Medicare doesn't cover all accident-related costs — it won't pay for co-pays, deductibles, or non-medical expenses like transportation to appointments, and age-related injuries (hip fractures, internal trauma) often require longer, more expensive treatment than the same injuries in younger drivers.
How Much Does Uninsured Motorist Coverage Insurance Cost?
- Whether you bundle UMBI and UMPD or purchase separately — some states don't offer UMPD at all
- Your ZIP code — urban areas with higher hit-and-run rates and uninsured percentages cost more
