When shopping for car insurance with different insurance companies, it's important to make sure these quotes have comparable coverage limits and deductibles. 

Here are some quick tips when shopping for auto insurance:

• Bodily Injury and Property Damage Liability meet the Washington state legal requirement. We strongly recommend discussing with an insurance professional before choosing these limits. 
• Deductibles for Comprehensive and Collision coverages are the same in the comparable quotes. Both of these coverages are required if your car is leased or financed.
• Uninsured Motorist and Personal Injury Protection coverages are offered to you. In Washington state, both of these coverages are required to be offered to you during the coverage selection process. 
• Emergency roadside coverage and rental car/travel expense coverage. These coverages come in handy at the time of a claim, so be sure to look for these optional coverages when obtaining a quote.

Each city may have its own level of risk when it comes to car insurance. Keep in mind that your auto insurance rate in Kent, WA may be different than another person insured in Tacoma. 

Liability coverage: 

Also known as the “other person” coverage, auto liability is the coverage on your policy that covers injuries and damages to the other driver and/or passengers if you were at fault in a car accident. 

This is also the coverage that is required by law in Washington state if the car is registered in the state. 

Personal injury protection (PIP): 

PIP coverage will take care of your injuries if you were involved in a car accident. The best feature of PIP coverage is its immediate benefits after an accident. PIP is also commonly known as the “no-fault coverage” which means the benefits will apply regardless who was at fault for the accident. 

Uninsured motorist coverage: 

Uninsured motorist coverage on your insurance policy will cover for your car repairs and your injuries from an accident in the event where the other driver is responsible but he or she does not have an active insurance policy in place.
