Car InsuranceGet the best auto insurance in Cullman, AL. Learn about Alabama's 25/50/25 requirements, I-65 impact on rates, and how to save on coverage in 2025.
Alabama requires 25/50/25 liability coverage: $25,000 per person for injuries, $50,000 per accident for all injuries, and $25,000 for property damage. You also need uninsured motorist coverage unless you waive it in writing, which most experts strongly advise against. These are legal minimums, but higher limits are recommended to protect your assets in a serious accident.
The average cost is about $1,416 per year for a $150,000 home and $2,262 annually for a $300,000 home. These rates are on par with Alabama's state average, which is significantly higher than the national average due to weather risks like tornadoes and hail. Your actual premium depends on your home's age, construction, coverage limits, and deductible choices.
Yes, most standard homeowners policies in Alabama cover tornado and wind damage, including roof damage, broken windows, and structural issues. However, many policies have high wind/hail deductibles—often 1% to 5% of your home's value—meaning you pay the first several thousand dollars of any claim. Review your policy to understand your deductible before storm season arrives.
It depends on your location. Standard homeowners policies don't cover flood damage, so if you're near creeks or in a low-lying area of Cullman County, you'll need a separate flood policy through the National Flood Insurance Program. Even if you're not in a high-risk flood zone, flood insurance can be affordable and worth considering given Alabama's heavy rainfall and severe weather patterns.
Yes, working with a local independent agent has major advantages. Cullman has seven independent agencies that can shop multiple carriers to find you the best rate and coverage. Local agents understand Cullman's specific risks—like tornado frequency and hail damage—and can recommend coverage tailored to your situation. They're also available locally if you need to file a claim or adjust your policy.
Collision covers damage to your car from accidents—like if you hit another vehicle or a guardrail on I-65. Comprehensive covers non-collision damage like theft, vandalism, hail, or hitting a deer. In Cullman, comprehensive coverage is particularly important given the hail risk—the 2018 hail storm caused extensive vehicle damage across the area. Neither is legally required, but lenders require both if you have a car loan.
