Liability-Only vs Full Coverage

Liability-Only

  • Covers damage you cause to others (required by law)
  • Cheapest option — premiums as low as $30-50/month
  • Ideal for older cars worth less than your deductible
  • Does not cover damage to your own vehicle

Best for: older vehicles where repair cost exceeds the car's value

VS

Full Coverage

  • Includes collision and comprehensive on top of liability
  • Covers theft, weather damage, and animal strikes
  • Required if you have a car loan or lease
  • Higher premiums — may not be worth it on older cars

Best for: newer vehicles, financed cars, or high-value assets

The ChooseFI take

The FI move: raise your deductible to $1,000+ if your emergency fund can cover it, and drop collision/comprehensive once your car's value drops below 10x your annual premium for those coverages. Invest the savings.
