How to ensure you have enough coverage on your Dodge Hellcat

Whether you’re driving a Dodge Hellcat or any other vehicle, most states require drivers to carry a minimum amount of liability coverage. After an at-fault accident, this type of coverage would help pay for damages or injuries you cause. But it doesn’t help pay for repair costs on your vehicle.

For drivers seeking more financial protection, a full-coverage policy, which includes comprehensive and collision coverage, may be a good fit.
