Iowa requires drivers to carry at least $20,000 of bodily injury liability per person, $40,000 per accident and $15,000 of property damage liability, often written 20/40/15.

Do I need flood insurance in Iowa City?

FEMA's National Risk Index rates inland flooding risk in Johnson County as Relatively Moderate compared with other U.S. counties. Most home and renters policies do not cover flood damage. Flood cover is a separate policy, from the National Flood Insurance Program or a private insurer, and an NFIP policy usually starts 30 days after you buy it.

Do I need renters insurance in Iowa City?

52.8% of households in Iowa City rent, according to the Census Bureau's American Community Survey. A landlord's policy covers the building, not your belongings or your liability; renters insurance covers those.

How do I choose an agency?

Call two or three. Ask which companies they can quote for you, how they handle claims, and who you will deal with after you buy. An independent agency can compare several insurers in one call.
