PL is Personal Liability or Public Liability and PD is Property Damage Liability.

Each state can have a different meaning for the term PL/PD. For example, in Florida PIP/PD is Personal Injury Protection and Property Damage Liability. Typically, a state requires Bodily Injury Liability and Property Damage Liability. This can sometimes be called PL/PD, BI/PD, basic coverage, state required and/or minimum insurance.

There are more factors that should go into your decision to purchase physical damage coverage on your 98 Hyunadai Accent or to increase your coverage beyond PL/PD to include Uninsured Motorist, Medical Payments, Towing and/or Rental Car Reimbursement.

The main factor to look at is:

• Your Car
• The value of the vehicle is the first item to look at. When you purchase physical damage coverage you are paying a premium and a deductible in case of an accident. If paying that premium and/or deductible is more than the value of the vehicle it would be smarter to save that money instead of putting it into insurance premiums.
• Is the vehicle leased or financed? If so, the lien holder will require you to carry insurance to cover their asset (the car).
