What car insurance coverage do you need for hurricane damage in Texas?

I just moved to Texas. I know hurricanes are common. Is there a way I can protect my car?

avatar
Emily Maracle · Updated on
Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
“Texas gets hit hard by hurricanes if you live on the coast, so if you’re looking to protect your car from hurricane damage, you’ll need to have
comprehensive insurance
 on your car insurance policy.
Depending on the coverages you currently have on your
car insurance
 policy, you may need to call your insurance company to add comprehensive insurance.
As comprehensive insurance is additional coverage, it won’t be on a policy with
liability car insurance
 only.
The cost of your car insurance policy will likely increase due to the additional coverage, but it will ensure your vehicle is protected if a hurricane occurs.
If you’re unhappy with the rate your current insurance company offers after adding comprehensive insurance, you can also shop around. By comparing rates with different insurance companies on
Jerry
, you can be sure you’re getting the best rate possible for the coverage you require.”
