Auto insurance coverage options
to better fit your needs
When it comes to car insurance, you’ve got plenty of coverage options. State Farm can help you find the right coverage. We’ll also help you find out how much auto insurance you might need. Coverage varies by state and your selection.
Collision insurance
When your vehicle hits another object, or overturns in an accident, you may be covered with collision insurance.
Comprehensive insurance
Choose comprehensive insurance for when your vehicle's stolen or damaged by something other than collision or rolling over, like damage caused by fire, wind, hail, flood, theft and more.
Rental insurance
When damage that's covered by your comprehensive or collision insurance has your car undrivable or in the repair shop, car rental reimbursement may help pay the cost to rent a car.
Rideshare insurance
When you use your personal car to drive for a ridesharing company like Uber or Lyft, help protect your vehicle with rideshare coverage.
Emergency roadside service
With emergency road service, we'll pay for the common, reasonable expenses you need to get your covered vehicle back in service.
