INTRODUCTION

In US Motor Insurance Market is increasingly becoming a mandatory step while purchasing a car in the United States.

While not all states mandate automobile insurance, a certain amount of auto insurance is required by most states. The requirement varies by jurisdiction, but a number of people do shell out on policies to help cover themselves.

There are various insurance plans which are sold by insurance companies.. Companies bundle up and try to sell the best plans which are affordable and give maximum cover to their customers.

There are some basic plans which motor insurance companies provide which are described below.

The most popular type of insurance is the liability insurance which is the minimum requirement in most states. Liability insurance protects in the case of bodily injury or property damage.

This insurance has a cover which will insure any medical bills for another person or the whole accident. This will also insure any damage done to some other car/property.

Medical payments insurance also exists which is an option to cover for any medicals bill for the passengers or co-passengers during the accident.

Liability insurance and uninsured motorists are what is called as mandatory minimum requirements in most states. Uninsured motorists coverage is covering for any damage that uninsured people do for example someone might cause an accident who doesn’t have liability insurance. The uninsured motorists coverage kicks in here in this scenario.

For the concern of safety and well-being, consumers will want even additional features added to their insurance policies. Collision insurance is an option which can be added where damage is done by the owner. It covers the damage done to the vehicle regardless of fault.

There are deductibles attached to these features where some fee is taken despite the premium paid in order to limit the number of claims and reduce the risk for insurance companies. The deductible price can be chosen which will affect the overall premium price of the insurance policy.

Full coverage insurance covers all from liability to uninsured motorists to collision to comprehensive damages. Comprehensive and collision is not required by law but are features added to get a full coverage. This plan provides the maximum security and coverage for vehicles.

US MOTOR INSURANCE MARKET DYNAMICS

The pandemic has brought a time of uncertainty where it has led to a dip in sales of vehicles. The top automakers recently reported that there was a 30% decrease in sales. This is the largest drop since the great recession and the financial crisis in 2009.  Car rental companies in the US have also stopped purchasing new vehicles and are rather looking to offload the vehicles from their inventory.

The supply and demand of the motor insurance is heavily driven by the sales of new vehicles. Insurance companies heavily rely on the sales of vehicles as it is mandatory in most states to obtain a policy. Insurers are going to be hit as well as the number of new sold cars drop. With increasing unemployment in the US, there will be a shift in purchasing behavior where customers are going to be worried about paying their premiums.

There will be customers who would want to change their planes to ensure that they have the required coverage at an affordable price. Insurance firms have to come up with competitive plans for the pandemic as some have already. There have been reports of firms providing relief, crediting partial premiums and being lenient towards cancellations.
