Auto insurance riders are an additional coverage that can be added to your auto insurance policy and provide additional protection beyond the standard policy. In general, riders provide additional coverage for an insured item or an event that is not typically covered by a standard auto insurance policy.

There are several types of auto insurance riders that you may want to consider adding to your policy. These include:

1. Loss of Use Rider: This rider provides coverage for any costs associated with renting a vehicle if your car is inoperable due to an accident or other covered event.

2. Loan/Lease Gap Coverage: This rider covers the difference between the amount owed on a loan or lease for your vehicle and the actual cash value of the vehicle in the event of a total loss.

3. Accident Forgiveness: This rider provides coverage for any additional premiums that may be due after an at-fault accident.

4. Diminishing Deductible: This rider provides coverage that reduces the deductible on your policy after every claim-free year.

5. Personal Injury Protection (PIP): This rider provides coverage for medical bills and other costs that may result from an accident.

6. Uninsured/Underinsured Motorists Coverage: This rider provides coverage for any medical bills or other costs that may result from an accident caused by an uninsured or underinsured motorist.

By purchasing one or more of these riders, you can ensure that you are fully covered in the event of an accident or other covered event. It is important to speak with your insurance agent to determine which riders are available in your area and which ones are the most appropriate for your individual needs.
