Coverage Types
Liability Insurance
Covers bodily injury and property damage you cause to others. Texas requires 30/60/25 minimum limits, but these fall far short of protecting retirement assets in serious accidents.
Uninsured Motorist Coverage
Pays your medical bills and vehicle damage when an at-fault driver lacks insurance. Texas does not require this coverage, but you must reject it in writing if your insurer offers it.
Comprehensive Coverage
Covers non-collision damage including hail, theft, flooding, and animal strikes. Senior drivers with paid-off vehicles often drop this to reduce premiums, but Texas's severe hail risk changes this calculation.
Collision Coverage
Pays to repair or replace your vehicle after an at-fault accident or single-vehicle collision. Many senior drivers drop this once the annual premium exceeds 10% of the vehicle's market value.
Full Coverage
Combines liability, comprehensive, collision, and uninsured motorist coverage into a complete package. This is not a policy type but a shorthand for carrying all major coverage categories.
Medical Payments Coverage
Covers medical expenses for you and your passengers after an accident, regardless of fault. Texas does not require this coverage, but it fills gaps for seniors on Medicare.
