Auto Insurance in Alabama
Liability for injury and damage you cause, plus optional coverage for your own vehicle. Every state sets a minimum; the minimum is rarely enough.
What is different in Alabama
Alabama sits in both a Gulf hurricane corridor and the northern tornado belt, so wind and hail deductibles are usually percentage-based rather than flat, and they differ sharply between the coast and the Tennessee Valley. Coastal Baldwin and Mobile counties frequently need the Beach Pool for wind. Roof age and condition drive admitted-market appetite statewide.

Why state minimum auto limits are not enough
Minimum liability limits were set decades ago and have not kept pace with medical costs or vehicle values. What they cover, and what happens when they run out.
