  • Liability Coverage

    Liability insurance helps pay for injuries or property damage you cause to others in a covered accident. Ohio requires drivers to maintain proof of financial responsibility. Drivers who satisfy that requirement through auto liability insurance must carry at least $25,000 per person and $50,000 per accident for bodily injury, plus $25,000 for property damage.

  • Collision Coverage

    Collision coverage may help pay for repairs to your vehicle after a covered accident, regardless of who is at fault.

  • Comprehensive Coverage

    Comprehensive coverage can help protect your vehicle from non-collision events such as theft, vandalism, fire, hail, falling objects, and certain weather-related damage.

  • Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Coverage

    Not every driver carries sufficient insurance coverage. This protection may help cover expenses if you're involved in an accident with a driver who has little or no insurance.

  • Medical Payments Coverage

    Medical payments coverage may help pay for medical expenses resulting from a covered accident, regardless of fault.

  • Roadside Assistance

    From flat tires and dead batteries to lockouts and towing needs, roadside assistance can provide valuable peace of mind for Cincinnati drivers.
