FAQ

Auto insurance is crucial for protecting your finances, your passengers, and your vehicle. Our team at GVL Insurance Company can help you select coverage that suits your lifestyle and budget. To get you started, we’ve addressed some of the most common questions about auto policies below.

Auto insurance is largely customizable. Standard policy options may include coverage for a wide range of situations, including the following:

• Accident-related expenses if you cause injuries to others or damage their property
• Your vehicle’s repair costs after a crash, regardless of who is at fault
• Losses resulting from noncollision events, such as theft and vandalism
• Financial support after an accident with an at-fault driver, if they lack adequate insurance
• Medical expenses for you and your passengers following an accident

Under state laws, all drivers are required to carry minimum liability coverage. This helps cover injuries or damages you may cause to others in an accident. Additional coverage options can provide financial protection for you and your own vehicle.

You can enhance your policy with optional add-ons, such as roadside assistance, which may provide towing services, flat tire assistance and battery jumps if your vehicle breaks down. Drivers also often add rental reimbursement, which can cover rental car fees while your vehicle is being repaired after a covered claim.

Several key factors can help insurers assess risk and determine the cost of coverage. These include your driving record, vehicle type, location, age and coverage selections.

If you’re involved in an accident, make sure everyone is safe, contact the authorities and exchange information with the other driver. Notify your insurance provider as soon as possible so you can be guided through the claims process. An adjuster will then review the details of the accident, assess damages and determine what coverage applies under your policy.
