Other coverage to consider

Car insurance isn't a one-size-fits-all solution. We offer the following additional coverage to drivers living in Wisconsin, and we provide continuous support as your needs change: 

• Collision coverage: Helps pay for car repairs after an accident. This includes accidents with other drivers, but can also extend to solo accidents—if you hit a tree or mailbox, for example.
• Comprehensive coverage: Covers car repairs for damage caused by events other than collisions, such as theft, vandalism, weather and natural disasters, etc.
• Medical payments coverage (MedPay): Helps pay medical costs if you or your passengers are injured in an accident, regardless of fault.
• Underinsured motorist protection: Covers physical and property damage resulting from an accident with another driver who has some auto insurance, but not enough to cover costs of the accident.
• Uninsured motorist protection: Covers physical and property damage resulting from an accident with another driver who has no auto insurance.

When it comes to car insurance in Madison, it's more important to get the coverage you need—and that satisfies state laws—than focus on the cost.
