Every car insurance company has different discounts available to its customers, so it's hard to give a blanket statement about your eligibility. Generally just know that car insurance for first responders is something that's an option.

If it's helpful, The Zebra can gather auto insurance quotes from several companies at once, giving you the chance to compare the best rates (with or without discounts) available to you.

Thanks for your question and good luck with your search!

I have liability coverage only and I hit a highway median. Am I covered for any damages?

Liability insurance only covers damages you directly cause. It never covers your own property. If the state seeks damages and the insurance was not active you do open yourself up to potential lawsuits for them to collect their damages.

If I sell my car and cancel my insurance, will my rates be higher later on?
