Having a good grasp of a car insurance policy helps when choosing which coverages you need and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be difficult to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Listed below are typical coverage types found on most car insurance policies.
Medical expense insurance – Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage reimburse you for expenses for things like doctor visits, X-ray expenses, surgery and EMT expenses. They can be utilized in addition to your health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover both the driver and occupants and also covers being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not an option in every state and may carry a deductible
Collision – Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your RX-7 from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision can pay for claims such as hitting a mailbox, sideswiping another vehicle, colliding with a tree, hitting a parking meter and colliding with another moving vehicle. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so you might think about dropping it from older vehicles. It’s also possible to bump up the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
Liability – Liability coverage will cover damages or injuries you inflict on other’s property or people. It protects YOU against claims from other people. Liability doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.
Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You might see policy limits of 50/100/50 that translate to a limit of $50,000 per injured person, a total of $100,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a limit of $50,000 paid for damaged property.
Liability can pay for things such as medical services, emergency aid, repair bills for other people’s vehicles, legal defense fees and bail bonds. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a decision to put some thought into, but buy as large an amount as possible.
Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers – Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage provides protection from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered losses include hospital bills for your injuries and also any damage incurred to your Mazda RX-7.
Due to the fact that many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their limits can quickly be used up. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.
Comprehensive (Other than Collision) – Comprehensive insurance will pay to fix damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You need to pay your deductible first and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive can pay for claims like fire damage, damage from flooding, damage from getting keyed, a broken windshield and rock chips in glass. The highest amount your car insurance company will pay is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
Affordable 1993 Mazda RX-7 insurance is available both online in addition to many insurance agents, so compare prices from both to have the best chance of lowering rates. There are still a few companies who do not provide online price quotes and many times these small insurance companies only sell through independent insurance agents.
We just presented some good ideas how you can reduce insurance prices online. The key thing to remember is the more you quote, the better your comparison will be. Consumers could even find that the best price on car insurance is with an unexpected company. They may only write in your state and offer lower rates as compared to the big name companies such as State Farm or Progressive.
