Coverage Types
Liability Insurance
Covers bodily injury and property damage you cause to others in an at-fault accident. Montana's 25/50/20 minimums are low relative to the cost of a serious collision, making higher limits a priority for asset protection.
Uninsured Motorist Coverage
Protects you when an at-fault driver has no insurance or inadequate coverage. Montana requires insurers to offer this coverage, and you must reject it in writing if you choose not to purchase it.
Comprehensive Coverage
Covers non-collision damage including wildlife strikes, hail, theft, and falling objects. Montana's high rate of deer and elk collisions makes this a frequently used coverage type.
Collision Coverage
Pays to repair or replace your vehicle after an at-fault accident or single-vehicle crash. For senior drivers with paid-off vehicles, the decision hinges on vehicle value versus annual premium and deductible.
Medical Payments Coverage
Covers medical expenses for you and your passengers after an accident, regardless of fault. This coverage pays quickly and can bridge gaps before Medicare or other health insurance processes claims.
Roadside Assistance
Covers towing, flat tire changes, lockout service, and fuel delivery. Montana's remote rural areas and extreme winter weather make roadside assistance a practical addition for senior drivers.
