First, you need to know the types of coverage that your insurance policy must or may include. These may change from one state to another. A list of most popular ones is given here.
Liability - This is a mandatory coverage that protects you when you are at fault in an accident. It pays for what damage you do to other people's car or property, their medical bills as well as any ‘pain and suffering' arising from the accident. Here ‘cheap' would be mean that you buy only the minimum coverage dictated by the law of your state. For Instance New York requires a minimum liability of $25,000 for one person injured in the other car, $50,000 for all parties injured in the other car, and $10,000 car or property damage due to an accident.
Comprehensive - This coverage cover you if your car gets damaged by anything other than collision like, fire, vandalism, theft or even by animal hit on the highway. Again you can lower or eliminate this coverage and in so doing reduce your car insurance bill.
Personal Injury Protection - This pays your and your passengers' hospital bills. This amount can be higher or lower depending on coverage limit and deductible.
Uninsured and Underinsured Driver - If the other driver in the other car is either underinsured or even uninsured, your own car insurance can pay for damages done to you, your passengers, and your car. This amount again can vary according to the area where you live or the localities where you drive.
