1. Liability Coverage
Liability is mandatory in most states and protects you if you cause damage or injury to another driver. GEICO offers two liability levels: bodily injury and property damage. The policy limits you choose determine the maximum payout for each incident.
2. Collision Coverage
Collision pays for damage to your vehicle when you collide with another car or object, regardless of fault. This coverage is optional but highly recommended for newer or higher‑value vehicles. It helps you replace or repair without paying out of pocket beyond your deductible.
3. Comprehensive Coverage
Comprehensive covers non‑collision events such as theft, vandalism, weather damage, or hitting an animal. Like collision, it's optional and useful if you want protection against unforeseen incidents.
4. Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Protection
This type safeguards you when the at‑fault driver lacks sufficient insurance. GEICO offers separate limits for bodily injury and property damage, ensuring you're covered even if the other party can't pay.
5. Personal Injury Protection (PIP)
PIP covers medical expenses and lost wages for you and passengers, regardless of who's at fault. It's required in some states and optional in others; GEICO provides various PIP limits to match your needs.
Choosing the Right Combination
Most drivers opt for a mix of liability, collision, and comprehensive to balance cost and protection. Adding uninsured/underinsured motorist and PIP offers additional peace of mind, especially in high‑traffic or high‑risk areas.
