Editorial Guidelines

The standards CoverMoose follows when researching, writing and updating insurance guides.

Insurance decisions affect your money and your family, so we hold our guides to a clear set of standards.

Accuracy first

  • We verify specific facts, such as state minimum coverage limits, legal requirements and definitions, against primary or highly reputable sources: state insurance departments and DMVs, the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC), the Insurance Information Institute (III), federal agencies and official program websites.
  • Every guide lists its sources so you can check them yourself.
  • When rules differ by state or insurer, we say so instead of generalizing.
  • We don't invent statistics, experts, quotes or reviews.

Independence

  • Our educational guides don't name a "best" insurance company and aren't written to favor any partner.
  • Partner relationships, if any, never change the facts we publish. See how we make money.

Clarity

  • We write in plain English, explain jargon when we use it, and answer the main question near the top of each page.
  • We avoid promises about savings. Your price depends on many personal factors.

Updates and corrections

Each guide shows when it was last updated. We review guides periodically and when laws change. If you think something is wrong or out of date, email [email protected] and we'll look into it promptly.

Not advice

Our content is general information, not insurance, legal, tax or financial advice. For advice about your situation, talk to a licensed insurance professional or contact your state insurance department.
