Ohio Auto Insurance

Vehicles are a big financial investment. For most of us, they are the second-most costly purchase that we make, after our homes.  And for people in Ohio, having a car or truck is rarely optional. They take us back and forth to work, transport our kids to school, haul groceries, pets, sporting equipment, and yard supplies – all while keeping us safe and dry and protected from the elements.

They’re a great convenience until they’re not. When something goes wrong – a broken windshield, a collision with a deer in the road, a fender-bender, or a theft – it can be more than a hassle. Good Auto Insurance helps you get back on the road quickly with the least amount of hassle.  If a truly serious accident occurs, it protects you from potentially ruinous costs.

Ohio has what is known as a “fault” system of insurance coverage. It is illegal to drive a motor vehicle without insurance or proof of financial responsibility, such as a Surety Bond or a state-approved certificate. Driving without required Auto Insurance in Ohio can result in a variety of potential penalties, including license suspension, fines, and even vehicle impoundment.

Here’s what the minimum mandatory Ohio Auto Insurance policy generally covers:

• Property Damage Liability coverage
• Bodily Injury Liability coverage

These are the mandatory minimum coverages. If you are at fault in an accident and the costs exceed the limits of your minimum coverage, you can be held responsible for these costs. The state says your home, car, and other assets could be taken away from you, or your present and future wages could be garnished to pay for these costs.

Hitchings Insurance will help you find the right Ohio Auto Insurance policy at the right price.
