South Carolina Auto Insurance Coverage |
|---|
| South Carolina requires all motor vehicles to be covered by liability
coverage. Current requirements are $25,000 per person for bodily injury
coverage, $50,000 per accident, and $25,000 for personal property. Remember,
that's the minimum requirements. With auto accident costs exceeding 230 billion
per year nationally it's a good idea to have additional coverage. There are over 6,420,000 auto accidents in the United States annually with 2.9 million people injured and over 42 thousand people killed. These statistics are quite daunting and the chances of being involved in an accident get higher every year do to more drivers on the roadways. The amount of coverage available depends on how much you're willing to spend. Of course the amount of your premium is decided by factoring in your age, credit history, vehicle usage and how high you want the deductible to be if you have to file a claim. Your driving history also plays a major role in how much you'll be paying for vehicle insurance. There is a 3 to 5 percent difference in rates between drivers with excellent safety records and those without. That calculates into $25.00 to $50.00 per vehicle, a significant amount even if you're only insuring one vehicle! Many insurance providers also provide discounts when you purchase multiple policies such as renters or homeowners insurance. Some things are optional such as medical payment coverage and roadside service but these additions are usually offered at a nominal fee and well worth it. If you're ever in a major accident, you may find that having medical payment coverage is very handy when trying to cover medical costs. Or it may be as simple as knowing that help is on the way when you're stranded on a deserted road with an overheated engine or flat tire.
