Whether you are taking a great American road trip or just driving to the grocery store, you want to make sure you have the right auto insurance to keep you protected. At Tackett Insurance Inc in Memphis, TN, we have a team of experts who will make sure your policy is customized to your needs and wallet.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In the state of Tennessee, you are required to have liability insurance. It is a basic amount which may be fine if you don&#8217;t have many assets. If, however, you do have assets, it probably isn&#8217;t the right choice. Liability insurance protects other people from an accident where you are the at-fault driver, but what about your vehicle? If you have basic auto insurance, it isn&#8217;t going to cover your vehicle.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>To protect your vehicle, you need to carry collision and comprehensive coverage.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Collision insurance<\/h2>\n<p>Collision insurance pays to repair or replace your vehicle if you are in an accident where you are at fault. It will also cover a hit and run or a single driver accident where you are the only one involved.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Comprehensive insurance<\/h2>\n<p>Comprehensive insurance also covers your vehicle. Many things can damage your vehicle over which you have no control. You can&#8217;t control hail from damaging your paint, limbs from falling on your roof, or stones from flying up and cracking your windshield. Theft and vandalism are also covered by comprehensive insurance.<\/p>\n<p>When you count on your vehicle to do your daily tasks, having insurance to protect it is a must.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Contact Tackett Insurance Inc in Memphis, TN when you need your auto policy reviewed or are looking for a first policy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>From the Great Smokey Mountains in the east to the Mississippi River in the west, Tennessee offers some of the most scenic vistas that any driver could want.
