Auto insurance protects you financially when accidents, theft, or weather damage strike your vehicle. Denver drivers face unique risks from congested highways, severe hailstorms, and a high rate of uninsured motorists. The right policy keeps you legal, covered, and confident on Colorado roads.
Every driver's situation is different. Here are the key coverages we build into your auto policy.
Liability coverage pays for the other driver's medical bills and property damage when you are at fault. We recommend carrying limits well above state minimums to protect your assets and finances.
Collision coverage pays to repair or replace your vehicle after an accident, regardless of who is at fault. If you finance or lease your car, your lender will likely require this coverage on your policy.
Comprehensive covers non-collision damage including hail, theft, vandalism, animal strikes, and falling objects. In Denver, where hailstorms can strike without warning, this coverage is essential for protecting your vehicle's value.
About 16% of Colorado drivers carry no insurance at all. Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage pays for your injuries and damages when the at-fault driver has little or no insurance to cover your losses.
Medical payments coverage, also called MedPay, pays for medical expenses for you and your passengers after an accident, regardless of who is at fault. It covers hospital visits, surgeries, and follow-up care.
Rental reimbursement covers the cost of a rental car while your vehicle is being repaired after a covered claim. Without it, you pay out of pocket for transportation during repairs that can take days or weeks.
Colorado is a fault-based auto insurance state, meaning the driver who causes an accident is financially responsible for the resulting damages. The state sets minimum liability requirements, but we strongly recommend carrying limits well above those minimums. Higher limits protect your savings, your home, and your future if you're found at fault in a serious accident.
Denver drivers face risks that go beyond state averages. The I-25 and I-70 corridors are among the highest-traffic stretches in Colorado, increasing the likelihood of collisions during daily commutes. Colorado also sees severe hailstorms every spring and summer, and Denver is consistently ranked among the worst metro areas in the country for hail damage to vehicles. Comprehensive coverage is not legally required, but it is the only way to protect your car from hail dents, cracked windshields, and other storm-related damage.
On top of weather and traffic, roughly 16% of Colorado drivers are uninsured. If one of them causes an accident, your uninsured motorist coverage is what pays for your injuries and vehicle damage. We recommend carrying limits well above the state minimum and adding comprehensive and uninsured motorist coverage to every policy. Save by bundling your auto and home insurance through Sierra Insurance Group to get better coverage at a lower overall cost.
Colorado requires all drivers to carry liability insurance. The state sets minimum limits, but most drivers benefit from carrying higher coverage to protect their assets. We recommend discussing your specific situation with us so we can find the right limits for you.
Yes, but only if you carry comprehensive coverage. Comprehensive is not required by Colorado law, so it must be added to your policy. Given Denver's frequent and severe hailstorms, comprehensive coverage is strongly recommended. It covers hail dents, cracked windshields, and other weather-related damage minus your deductible.
