Coverage Options
Understanding your coverage options helps you build a policy that protects what matters — without paying for what you don't need.
Liability InsuranceEvery vehicle on a multi-car policy must carry at least your state's minimum bodily-injury and property-damage liability. State minimums range from $15,000 per person to $50,000; most common is $25,000.
Full Coverage Car InsuranceLiability plus collision and comprehensive on a single vehicle. On a multi-car policy, you choose which vehicles carry full coverage and which carry liability only — the discount applies to the whole policy regardless.
Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist CoveragePays when another driver hits your vehicle and lacks adequate liability coverage. Required in 22 states; optional in others. On a multi-car policy, uninsured-motorist coverage typically applies per vehicle.
Multi-Car Policy StructureA single policy covering two or more vehicles, each with its own coverage elections. The multi-car discount requires all vehicles on the same policy and often the same garaging address; the discount amount varies by carrier and state.Recent Articles

Can two cars share one insurance policy?
Yes. A multi-car policy puts two or more vehicles on a single policy, each with its own coverage level. All vehicles must meet your state's minimum liability requirement, but one car can carry full coverage while another carries liability only.
How does the multi-car discount work?
The discount applies when you insure two or more vehicles on the same policy. Most carriers require all vehicles to share the same garaging address and policy renewal date. The discount amount varies by carrier and state; no universal percentage exists.
Does every vehicle on a multi-car policy need the same coverage?
No. Each vehicle can carry its own liability limits, collision election, and comprehensive election. One car can have full coverage while another carries only the state minimum liability — the multi-car discount applies to the whole policy regardless of per-vehicle coverage differences.
Is one multi-car policy always cheaper than two separate policies?
In most cases, yes. The multi-car discount reduces the total premium compared to insuring each vehicle separately. Exceptions exist when one vehicle or driver carries significantly higher risk, but combining policies under one household address typically costs less.
What happens when I add a vehicle to my multi-car policy?
The carrier re-rates the entire policy to include the new vehicle. You choose coverage levels for the added car, and the multi-car discount recalculates across all vehicles. Coverage for the new vehicle typically starts immediately upon notification to the carrier.
