I currently have collision insurance, but not comprehensive. It seems to me that they're charging way too much.

My car is a Plug in Prius but was purchased used and was not expensive.
Thus I can afford to pay for any repairs, and my low mileage reduces the potential for damages.

Is it possible for me to get just liability and uninsured coverage and would that be enough for me?
If so, what coverage should I look for, and what companies are most likely to provide it for reasonable rates?
If you only drive 327 miles a year, then sell your car and take a taxi. (Uber & Lyft are too expensive.)

Really, if your insurance costs you over 2 dollars per mile, then it's time to rethink driving.
