Auto, shopped across the market.

Auto rates in Connecticut shift faster than any other line we write. The carrier that was cheapest two years ago for your zip code — whether you're in New Haven or out on the eastern shoreline — may not be the cheapest today. Our job is to re-shop for you, every renewal, and tell you when to switch — not to keep you on the same carrier out of inertia.

The Connecticut basics

Connecticut requires every driver to carry minimum liability of 25/50/25 — $25K bodily injury per person, $50K per accident, $25K property damage. These limits are not enough for a real accident. We typically recommend 100/300/100 minimum, with most clients going 250/500/100 or higher. The marginal premium for higher limits is small.

Connecticut also requires uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage at the same limits as your liability, unless you reject in writing. We don't recommend rejecting it.

Coverages worth understanding

  • Liability: what you owe the other party if you cause an accident. Get this high.
  • Collision: damage to your car from an accident. Required if you have a loan.
  • Comprehensive: non-collision damage — theft, vandalism, deer strikes, flooding, falling trees. On the shoreline with all the trees and the occasional flooded street, this matters.
  • Medical payments / PIP: medical costs for you and your passengers regardless of fault. Modest amounts (~$5K) are cheap and useful.
  • Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM): covers you when the other driver doesn't have enough insurance.

Adding a teen driver?

This is the conversation where the difference between carriers gets dramatic. Some carriers double the premium when a 16-year-old goes on the policy. Others ratchet less aggressively, especially with a good-student discount. We'll re-shop the household when the teen is added, every time. Often we'll find a better deal than your current carrier offers.

Stack with home

Bundling auto and home with the same carrier typically saves 10–20% on each. We look at this every time. Sometimes the bundled discount makes a more expensive carrier the cheapest overall.

Self-employed tradespeople

If you use your truck for work — landscaping, contracting, charter operations — your personal auto policy may not cover business use. We separate personal and commercial auto when needed. This matters if you have an accident on the job; a denied claim because of business use exclusion is one of the worst calls a tradesperson can get.
