Buying car insurance in Blue Springs, MO

Missouri requires a minimum amount of car insurance coverage, but remember that most drivers need well over the state minimums in order to be fully protected in case of an accident. Here are the minimum coverage levels that all Blue Springs drivers must meet:

  • Bodily injury liability coverage per person: $25,000

  • Bodily injury liability coverage per accident: $50,000

  • Property damage liability coverage: $10,000

  • Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage: $25,000 per person; $50,000 per incident

Missouri is an at-fault state when it comes to accidents. That means the insurance company of the driver responsible for causing an accident must pay for the damage or injuries they caused. Under the state's pure comparative fault system, multiple parties can be at fault in an accident, and their degree of liability determines how claims are settled.

How to get cheap car insurance in Blue Springs, MO

  • Be familiar with your coverage options. Understand what each part of your car insurance policy covers and know how much of each you need.

  • Compare quotes. Companies will all charge you different rates, and they may offer different discounts and perks, which is why you should shop around. 

  • Do you own a home or rent? Bundle your homeowners or renters insurance with your car insurance policy and you’ll save.

  • Re-shop for your policy every year or so, even if it means changing companies. Car insurance companies compete for your business, take advantage of what they have to offer.
