Knowing the specifics of your car insurance policy can be of help when determining appropriate coverage at the best deductibles and correct limits. Car insurance terms can be ambiguous and reading a policy is terribly boring. Below you’ll find typical coverages found on most car insurance policies.
Comprehensive or Other Than Collision
Comprehensive insurance will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first must pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive coverage pays for claims like hitting a deer, damage from flooding and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The highest amount a car insurance company will pay at claim time is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider dropping full coverage.
Medical costs insurance
Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance provide coverage for short-term medical expenses for hospital visits, rehabilitation expenses, doctor visits, ambulance fees and surgery. They are utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. Coverage applies to not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and will also cover any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
Collision protection
Collision coverage covers damage to your Corrado resulting from colliding with an object or car. A deductible applies then your collision coverage will kick in.
Collision coverage pays for things such as hitting a mailbox, colliding with another moving vehicle, sideswiping another vehicle, driving through your garage door and damaging your car on a curb. This coverage can be expensive, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Another option is to increase the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.
Auto liability
Liability insurance protects you from injuries or damage you cause to other’s property or people. It protects YOU from legal claims by others. It does not cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.
Liability coverage has three limits: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You commonly see limits of 100/300/100 which stand for $100,000 bodily injury coverage, $300,000 for the entire accident, and property damage coverage for $100,000.
Liability coverage protects against claims such as repair costs for stationary objects, medical expenses, repair bills for other people’s vehicles and pain and suffering. How much liability coverage do you need? That is up to you, but consider buying as much as you can afford.
UM/UIM Coverage
Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection from other drivers when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. It can pay for injuries to you and your family as well as your vehicle’s damage.
Since a lot of drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is important protection for you and your family.
As you shop your coverage around, never buy lower coverage limits just to save a few bucks. Too many times, someone sacrificed full coverage only to regret they didn’t purchase enough coverage. The proper strategy is to get the best coverage possible at the best price while not skimping on critical coverages.
Cheaper 1992 Volkswagen Corrado insurance can be found both online and also from your neighborhood agents, and you should compare price quotes from both in order to have the best chance of saving money. Some auto insurance companies may not provide online quoting and most of the time these regional insurance providers sell through independent agents.
