MoneyGeek evaluated the best full coverage policies in Springfield according to our methodology. That involved comparing the average rates from multiple providers for a 40-year-old male driver in Springfield.

A full coverage policy includes liability/PIP plus comprehensive and collision insurance that protect your vehicle if damaged. That’s why it costs more than minimum coverage.

  • Comprehensive insurance: pays for loss due to theft or damage to your vehicle like hail.
  • Collision insurance: pays for damage to your car if you hit an object or another vehicle.

With an older vehicle, you may choose the lower-priced minimum coverage policy because full coverage may cost more than your car’s value.
