While standard Virginia auto insurance offers good protection, there are a number of add-on policies that can provide extra coverage. The Car Connection offers advice for drivers looking to boost their current auto insurance policy.

One add-on that is good for young drivers and those who travel frequently is roadside assistance insurance. According to the source, this additional policy will send out a service vehicle for drivers who encounter problems such as flat tires or a dead battery. Without this, drivers may have to pay out of pocket for towing services as well as the cost of labor.

Drivers who invest in rental car reimbursement coverage will not have to pay for a rental vehicle while their cars are in the shop or damaged. Paying for rentals out of pocket can be expensive, so the additional coverage can be helpful.

According to the source, having a personal injury protection policy provides drivers with a package that covers expenses outside of car repair including medical bills, loss of wages and rehabilitation costs.
