Auto Insurance FAQs
Here are answers to common questions Minnesota drivers ask about auto insurance:
-
Do I need collision and comprehensive coverage?
It depends on your vehicle and how you use it. If you drive a newer or financed car, your lender will likely require both collision and comprehensive coverage. For older vehicles, these coverages may not make financial sense, but they can still provide peace of mind if you rely on your car daily. Our agents will walk you through the costs and benefits so you can make an informed decision.
-
Does auto insurance cover deer collisions?
Yes—if you carry comprehensive coverage. Deer accidents are especially common on rural roads in Kandiyohi and Renville counties, particularly in fall. Without comprehensive coverage, you’ll be paying out of pocket for repair costs, so many Minnesota drivers choose to include it.
-
What’s the minimum car insurance required in Minnesota?
Minnesota law requires liability coverage, personal injury protection (PIP), and uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage. These minimums keep you legal, but they may not be enough to fully protect your finances in the event of a serious accident. Johannes Agency can review your options to help you choose coverage that goes beyond the bare minimum.
-
Can I bundle auto and home insurance?
Yes. Bundling policies with the same carrier often results in discounts and makes managing your insurance simpler. For many West Central Minnesota families, combining auto, home, and even recreational vehicle insurance is a cost-effective way to increase protection while keeping premiums manageable.
