Do I need other car insurance coverages in Texas?

Texas also recommends uninsured/underinsured motorist bodily injury coverage (UM/UIM BI), uninsured/underinsured motorist property damage (UM/UIM PD), and personal injury protection (PIP) with the following minimum limits:

UM/UIM BI: $30,000 per person, $60,000 per accident
UM/UIM PD: $25,000 with a $250 deductible
PIP: $2,500

Note: These coverages can be rejected.

Uninsured motorist coverage covers medical expenses for you and your passengers if you are hit by a driver with little or no insurance. UM/UIM PD pays for damage an uninsured or underinsured driver causes to your vehicle. PIP also covers your medical costs, as well as lost wages and death benefits, but pays out regardless of who is at fault. As with liability coverage, it's generally a good idea to choose higher limits for these coverages to better protect you and your family's financial well-being.

Consider comprehensive and collision coverage

Texas requires liability insurance, but not comprehensive coverage or collision coverage. Still, buying comprehensive and collision coverage is a smart idea, especially if your car is more expensive. These coverages will pay for the repair or replacement of your vehicle if it's in an accident, stolen, or otherwise damaged as a result of a covered incident. If you're leasing or financing a car, you may be required to carry these coverages.
