You make a great point about purchasing a policy that comes recommended by specific agents. I need to get an auto policy that covers incidentals. I'll have to get one that is only $100 a month.

I appreciate that you explained that we should understand the law in our state, because there would be different terms when it comes to the minimum amount required for every state.
