Car insurance just makes sense
Despite the high cost of buying insurance for a Jeep Compass in Chicago, insuring your vehicle is a good idea for several reasons.
- Almost all states have mandatory insurance requirements which means you are required to buy a specific level of liability in order to license the vehicle. In Illinois these limits are 20/40/15 which means you must have $20,000 of bodily injury coverage per person, $40,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and $15,000 of property damage coverage.
- If you bought your vehicle with a loan, almost every bank will require that you buy insurance to ensure they get paid if you total the vehicle. If you let the policy lapse, the lender may insure your Jeep at a significantly higher premium and require you to fork over for it.
- Car insurance protects both your assets and your Jeep. Insurance will also pay for most medical and hospital costs incurred in an accident. Liability insurance, one of your policy coverages, also covers all legal expenses up to the policy limit if you are named as a defendant in an auto accident. If you have damage to your Jeep as the result of the weather or an accident, comprehensive (other-than-collision) and collision coverage will cover the damage repairs after a deductible is paid.
The benefits of having insurance more than offset the price you pay, particularly when you have a large claim. As of last year, the average driver in Illinois is overpaying more than $830 a year so smart consumers compare quotes once a year at a minimum to make sure the price is not too high.
