Um, first of all, I would be ecstatic at insurance that's only ~$600 a year, per car.

Anyway, $50-150K coverage? With today's medical costs? One minor accident, with you and a passenger being required to stay in the hospital overnight and have CAT scans will run you $100K, easy. A bad accident can easily run you close to $500K. Having low coverage is just asking for trouble down the road.

Second is the added un-insured driver insurance (that most people don't have). It's only a few extra bucks a month, and covers you if you are in an accident with a driver with no insurance. Trust me, it makes a big difference. I grew up with a mother that did personal injury law...you wouldn't believe how often these types of accidents occur.
