Second number = bodily injury liability maximum for all injuries in one
accident.
Third number = property damage liability maximum for one accident.
|
|

motorcycle, car, truck, fence, or house, is covered through property damage auto insurance coverage. This coverage also assists in protecting you if a lawsuit arises from an accident. The minimum coverage amount in South Carolina is $25,000. |

or others hurt or killed in an accident while riding in or driving your car or truck. Claims against this coverage include all reasonable hospital, surgical, chiropractor, X-ray, dental, professional nursing, prosthetic, and funeral expenses. It will also cover you or members of your family if you are hit by a car when you are walking or if you are riding in another car or truck. This coverage will pay for your medical and funeral expenses even if you cause the accident. The coverage is often limited to medical care you get in the first one, two, or three years after the accident and is limited to a specific dollar amount.

South Carolina Auto Insurance FAQ

Having a teenager included on your auto insurance policy will always cost
substantially more, but there are ways to reduce the premium increase. |
|
The best cars for teen drivers are slower, bigger cars with a lot of safety features.
Teenager's are more prone to accidents, especially ones caused by speeding. A disproportionate number of teenage car accidents involve only one vehicle. |
|
Make sure your teen drives safely. One speeding ticket or fender-bender can send
your teenager's auto insurance rates sky high. Require that they take a drivers education class at their high school or local DMV. |
|
Good student teen driver insurance rates can save up to 25% on your teenager's
auto insurance if a "B" average is maintained. |
|
Assuming your teen keeps a good driving record, the cost of insuring them will
decrease as they get older. |
|
Auto Insurance endorsements are policy extras for services such as towing insurance,
auto glass insurance, daily rental insurance, and emergency roadside insurance. |

choose these services for the added security and convenience they provide. |
