Auto Insurance in Arvada, Colorado
An independent agent on Joyce Drive in Arvada, comparing several carriers for drivers in Arvada, Wheat Ridge, Golden and Westminster.
What Colorado law requires
Colorado requires liability minimums of 25/50/15: $25,000 bodily injury per person, $50,000 per accident, and $15,000 property damage under C.R.S. 10-4-620.
According to the Colorado Division of Insurance, uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) coverage is included unless you reject it in writing. $5,000 in Medical Payments (MedPay) coverage is included unless you reject it. Insurers must offer collision coverage. A lender or lease may require more coverage than the legal minimum.
Coverage beyond the minimum
Liability coverage — pays for injuries and property damage you cause to others. We recommend at least 100/300/100 for most Colorado drivers.
Collision coverage — helps pay to repair or replace your vehicle after a collision, subject to your deductible and policy terms.
Comprehensive coverage — helps cover non-collision losses such as theft, vandalism, hail, and animal strikes, subject to your deductible.
Uninsured/underinsured motorist (UM/UIM) — helps pay for covered injuries when the at-fault driver has no insurance or not enough liability coverage.
Medical payments (MedPay) — covers medical bills for you and your passengers after an accident, regardless of fault.
Rental reimbursement — pays for a rental car while your vehicle is being repaired after a covered loss.
Roadside assistance — towing, flat tire, jump starts, lockout service. Especially useful on Colorado mountain roads.
Gap insurance — can help cover the difference between your vehicle's value and an outstanding loan or lease balance after a total loss, subject to policy terms.
Colorado driving risks that shape your policy
Living and driving in Colorado comes with unique risks that affect your coverage needs:
Hail damage — vehicle hail damage falls under comprehensive and is subject to its deductible, according to the Colorado Division of Insurance. Ask about $0 hail/glass deductible options. Read our Colorado hail damage guide.
Winter and mountain driving — snow, ice, and changing mountain conditions can make driving harder. Review liability limits, collision coverage, and roadside assistance before your next trip.
Animal strikes — a direct collision with an animal generally falls under comprehensive coverage, subject to your deductible and policy terms.
Uninsured drivers — an estimated 19.7% of Colorado motorists were uninsured in 2023 (Insurance Research Council, via the Insurance Information Institute). Talk with an agent about how UM/UIM fits your policy.
