YOU ASK:

How does out of state auto coverage work?

WE ANSWER:

Out-of-state coverage, also referred to as extraterritorial coverage, is a PAP provision, determining the way a Personal Auto policy works if a car accident happens in a state other than the one the covered auto is registered in.

If the liability limits provided by a PAP are lower than the ones required by the state where the accident has occurred, the Auto policy automatically makes up for the gap.

To see what out-of state coverage you are subject to when driving in each US state, you must know the minimum liability requirements that every state has by law. Table 1 can help you become acquainted with the liability limits by state. Note that LL stands for liability limits.
