There are 3 types of coverage on all car insurance policies. 1. Liability that pays for the damage you cause to others. 2. Med pay/PIP/Uninsured motorists that cover injuries in your vehicle. 3. Comprehensive/Collision that pays for your vehicle to be repaired. Coverages 1 and 2 are generally considered policy level and have to be the same on all your cars. Coverage type 3 is a vehicle level policy and can be different from car to car. You will be able to find insurance companies that will allow you to do different coverages on all your cars but don't look too long this isn't that important. Many lease agreements require higher liability limits of 100k/person 300k/accident for injuries and 50k/accident for prperty damage. The reason why the lease agreement requires higher liability, and a finance agreement does not, is because technically you are just borrowing a leased vehicle and if you cause an accident the leasor can be sued for the damage you cause. The way the protect themselves from that happening is by aking you to carry high liability limits to minimize that possibility. Regardless if you are leasing or not you should considering liability limits this high because the cost to do so compared to the extra protection is usually a very good value. EX, if you are paying $200/6 months for liability coverage of 25k/person 50k/accident you are essentially paying $4/$1,000 of coverage. Going up to the 100k/300k coverage will likely cost $250/6 months or $0.83/$1,000 of coverage. Keep in mind regardless of how much liability coverage you carry, if you cause more damage than what you have insurance for, you then become responsible for the rest. For category 3 you'll be expected to carry nothing higher than a $500 deductible.

Auto Insurance Coverage?

Knowing how much auto insurance coverage is needed can save drivers on auto insurance fees in the long-run. Different states require different coverage amounts in areas such as medical expenses. Most insurance providers will automatically default to amounts at or above these minimums when providing insurance quotes. Whether or not drivers own or make payments on their vehicles also makes a difference on the amount of coverage required. Vehicles owned outright have more insurance options available for their drivers than vehicles still owned by the bank. Drivers can begin with the minimum coverage required and add on to that minimum as they deem necessary.
