Understanding the Basics of Auto Insurance

New York and Pennsylvania are two of the most populous states in the United States. Both of these states have a rich history and diverse cultures that make them unique and exciting places to live. Despite their differences, they share a common need for quality insurance services, and that’s where AW Burchell Agency Inc. comes in.

Understanding the Basics of Auto Insurance

Auto insurance is mandatory in both New York and Pennsylvania.

These are the main types of coverage options:

Liability Coverage: You need to have at least an auto liability insurance policy added to your coverage. This is required by law.

Collision Coverage: Without this coverage, you need to pay out of pocket for repairs to your vehicle in the case of an accident where the other motorist is not liable to pay. 

Comprehensive Coverage: This coverage coves in handy if your vehicle gets damaged by any natural disaster of vandalism.
