Raising liability limits from 50/100/50 to 100/300/100 adds about $27 a year in our Hopkinsville data, with the same $500 deductibles. That’s about $2 a month for three times the injury protection per crash and double the property damage limit. The step up is small partly because Safeco charges more for 50/100/50 than for 100/300/100 in every Kentucky ZIP code we price.
