Car Insurance Quotes for a Hyundai Sonata

The average annual premium for a Hyundai Sonata is $367 for minimum coverage and $1,744 for full coverage. Drivers in all states are looking for cheap car insurance to comply with state regulations.

In most states, the minimum consists of liability that offers financial help to other parties if you are at fault in a covered event. In no-fault states, this liability is extended to you, regardless of who caused the accident. However, no-fault states (and some at-fault) require additional coverage in the form of uninsured motorist coverage and personal injury protection (PIP) for additional financial help. Your rates will depend heavily on your driving history, your age and where you live.

Full coverage is an enhanced level of protection. In many cases, drivers choose to add this additional financial security, however, those who finance or lease may be required to carry it. It typically consists of liability, plus comprehensive and collision.

Don’t pay too much for your car insurance. Freeway can help you research all of your options based on your needs and budget to find the best coverage for you.

Freeway Insurance can provide you with several cheap car insurance options, including minimum liability and full coverage, plus more.

Full Coverage

Full coverage includes liability, comprehensive, and collision insurance.

Collision insurance covers the cost of damages to your vehicle due to vehicle-to-vehicle, vehicle-to-object, and rollover collisions.

Comprehensive insurance covers damages to your vehicle due to non-collision-related events, such as theft, falling objects, fire, and weather.

We highly recommend a full coverage policy over state minimum liability for the greater protections it provides. Remember, you can also opt for additional coverages, such as gap insurance, uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, roadside assistance, and rental car reimbursement.

State Minimum Liability

Every state has unique requirements when it comes to minimum car insurance requirements.

Minimum coverage requirements in your state apply to bodily injury and property damage liability. For example, Louisiana drivers must carry $15,000 in bodily injury liability per person, $30,000 in bodily injury liability per accident, and $25,000 for property damage liability per accident.

In turn, California drivers must carry the same bodily injury liability per person/accident coverages and $5,000 in property damage liability per accident.

With the average cost of new vehicles exceeding $40,000, the minimum property damage liability of most states barely comes close. Therefore, we strongly recommend a policy with higher liability limits for greater peace of mind. Even a single car accident could force you to go out of pocket to pay for expenses, throwing your monthly budget out of whack and putting your assets at jeopardy.

DUI convictions have a detrimental effect on your rates.

Driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs will result in heavy fines, administrative fees, driver’s license/registration suspension, and depending on the state, you may be required to file an SR-22 with your state’s DMV. SR-22s are proof of financial responsibility required to drive legally in the state.

Expect your rates to double or even triple after a DUI conviction, depending on the incident. Rates will remain elevated for a minimum of three years before gradually tapering down with a clean driving record.

Finding coverage after a DUI can be challenging, as not all insurers will cover what is considered a high-risk history. However, with some research, you can find affordable DUI auto insurance.

There are many coverage discounts drivers can leverage to lower their monthly bills.
