It is liability coverage that protects other drivers in the event you cause an accident. It is important coverage and it protects your assets, but it does not protect your vehicle.&nbsp;The Pivotal Insurance Agency LLC in Louisa, VA,&nbsp;believes&nbsp;it is our job to make sure that all of our customers have exactly the amount of insurance that is best suited to their needs.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If&nbsp;you are leasing your vehicle or you have a car loan, you will be required to have more than basic insurance. You need to protect the vehicle since others have a vested interest in your vehicle. Collision and comprehensive coverage will be required. .&nbsp;Collision protects your vehicle after an accident where you are at fault, are the only car in an accident, or are a victim of a hit and run. Comprehensive is coverage for all the things that can happen that aren&#8217;t your fault, just bad luck like weather damage, theft, and vandalism.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you are like most people, you count on your vehicle for everyday activities. You need to drive to work, shop, and pick up the kids. A day doesn&#8217;t go by when you don&#8217;t use your car. For you, having coverage that will fix your car if it is damaged is vital to your life. The reality is, basic insurance is right for a small number of people, not everyone.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Having basic auto insurance is okay if you have an old car of little value and not much in the way of assets. But if you own a home and have savings, basic liability just won&#8217;t cut it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Contact The Pivotal Insurance Agency LLC in Louisa, VA to discuss what you need when it comes to auto insurance.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Basic auto insurance is what is required by the state, in this case, Virginia.
