Driving around La Crosse means dealing with a little bit of everything—busy traffic on Losey Boulevard, winter roads, deer crossings, road construction and the occasional hailstorm. The right auto insurance can help protect you when the unexpected happens, but not every policy provides the same protection.
At Preferred Insurance Agency, we help drivers in La Crosse and throughout Wisconsin understand their coverage and find an auto insurance policy that fits their needs and budget.
What Does Auto Insurance Cover?
An auto insurance policy can include several different types of protection:
- Liability coverage helps pay for injuries or property damage you cause to someone else in an accident.
- Collision coverage helps pay to repair or replace your vehicle after a covered collision, regardless of who is at fault.
- Comprehensive coverage helps cover damage from events such as theft, vandalism, hail, falling objects, fire or hitting a deer.
- Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage helps protect you if the driver who causes an accident has little or no insurance.
- Medical payments coverage can help with medical expenses for you and your passengers after a covered accident.
- Roadside assistance and rental reimbursement may be added to help when your vehicle breaks down or is being repaired after a covered loss.
Your policy should be built around your vehicle, driving habits, financial situation and the amount of risk you are comfortable carrying—not simply the lowest available price.
Is Wisconsin’s Minimum Coverage Enough?
Wisconsin requires drivers to carry minimum levels of auto liability insurance. However, minimum coverage may not be enough if you cause a serious accident involving injuries, multiple vehicles or expensive property damage.
Choosing higher liability limits may cost less than you expect and can provide significantly better financial protection. We can review your limits, deductibles and optional coverages so you understand exactly what you are purchasing.
Ways to Save on Auto Insurance
There are several ways you may be able to lower your premium without giving up important coverage:
- Bundle your home, renters or other insurance with your auto policy.
- Ask about multi-vehicle, safe-driver and claims-free discounts.
- Review your deductibles.
- Consider available telematics or driving-monitoring discounts.
- Maintain continuous insurance coverage and a good driving record.
- Review your policy when vehicles, drivers or driving habits change.
The cheapest policy is not always the best value. A slightly lower premium can become very expensive if the policy leaves you underinsured after a claim.
