Broad form auto focuses on the driver, not a single vehicle. Mississippi drivers use it when they share cars, drive different cars, or want a simple liability setup that travels with them. We help across Jackson, Gulfport, Hattiesburg, Biloxi, Southaven, and Olive Branch.
It is not for every situation. If you need physical damage on your own car, full coverage on a standard policy fits better. If you do not own a vehicle, non-owner can be a match. See quick comparisons below.
Liability coverage that follows you while driving many personal vehicles you own or use, subject to policy terms.
Often excludes delivery, rideshare, business use, and certain vehicle types or weights.
Does not include comprehensive or collision on a specific VIN.
Pairs with SR-22 when required by the state.
Useful during car changes, shared vehicles, or multi-vehicle access.
Want the short version… broad form is driver-centric liability. Full coverage protects your own car. Non-owner is for people who do not own a car.
