Hi there, Alexander. Congratulations on your new car! You know, the law here in Irving Texas TX states that you can’t drive without enough coverage for damages you may inflict on people or things while driving. In fact, the law further specifies a minimum 20/40/15 liability coverage. These three numbers are often referred to as liability limits – the 20 and the 40 means that the insurer provides $20,000 coverage for each person injured with a total of $40,000 per accident while the 15 means that the insurer will cover up to $15,000 worth of damage to property. Remember that any costs in excess of the coverage would have to be shouldered by you; hence, remember to ask what other liability limit levels are being offered by your local insurer.

There are other types of coverage which you can ask about such as:
- personal injury protection;
- medical payments coverage;
- uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage;
- collision coverage; and
- comprehensive coverage.

To help you decide on what you need, I suggest that you key in your zip code in the space indicated on this site to receive free quotes from insurers in Irving Texas TX. Three or four quotes should provide you with an idea, not only of the available liability limits, add-ons and features but also the corresponding costs. A holistic approach to decision-making should give you the best value for your money. Don’t be afraid to ask your insurer for specifics!
