How much car insurance do I need - Leo yarms

Hello everyone,

What's a sane level of coverage to have for each car? I do not know what are good amounts to be insured for in the following categories:

Liability

Bodily injury

Property damage

Personal injury protection

Uninsured coverage

Collision

Comprehensive

Also, what's a good amount to set deductibles to, assuming we have a healthy emergency fund?

Thanks!

"Liability... Collision...Deductibles"? Are you in the UK or not? If not, no-one here (probably) can help.

I think he is not in the uk.

The best way to consider insurance he to ask yourself some pretty simple questions

1 . What is it worth

2 . How much will it cost to repair or replace.

3 . do you actually need to replace it.

What ever it is worth or would cost to replace then that is what you should insure it for.

It's better to compare with different companies and get a quote then get a piece of advice from an reliable insurance agents who can connect you with the right insurance with low price.

Why is it better to compare yourself rather than using someone reliable?

My point here is if your are in confusion state of mind where we don't have any prior information, getting a advice from knowledge person is not a bad idea.

Anyway thanks for your reply Alan1302

He craftily inserts spam into an apparent quotation.

You are a much nicer person than I am, FP. To me that isn't crafty; it's just plain stupid.

Who is going to buy anything from someone who asks a really thick question about insurance? This is the third one of these 'insurance queries' in a week: each time their final post has a link and ends with 'Thank you my issue has been solved,...'

I bet he stupidly though he was on Honestjohn.com so was spamming a gullible US audience. More fool him.
