Companies offering auto insurance do not list every discount in a way that’s easy to find, so we break down both well-publicized and also the lesser-known car insurance savings.

Check with every prospective company which discounts they offer. Savings may not apply in your state.

Understanding the coverages of your insurance policy can help you determine the best coverages for your vehicles. Insurance terms can be difficult to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring. Listed below are the normal coverages offered by insurance companies.
Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers
Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle from other motorists when they do not carry enough liability coverage. It can pay for medical payments for you and your occupants as well as damage to your Ford E-350.
Due to the fact that many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.
Comprehensive insurance
This covers damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first have to pay a deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive can pay for things like theft, damage from flooding, damage from a tornado or hurricane and rock chips in glass. The highest amount a insurance company will pay at claim time is the cash value of the vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
Coverage for liability
This coverage can cover injuries or damage you cause to a person or their property in an accident. It protects you against other people’s claims, and does not provide coverage for damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.
It consists of three limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. Your policy might show values of 25/50/25 that means you have a $25,000 limit per person for injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $50,000, and $25,000 of coverage for damaged propery.
Liability coverage pays for claims such as repair costs for stationary objects, medical expenses, pain and suffering and court costs. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is up to you, but you should buy higher limits if possible.
Collision coverage protection
Collision insurance covers damage to your E-350 from colliding with an object or car. You will need to pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.
Collision coverage pays for things such as driving through your garage door, sideswiping another vehicle, hitting a parking meter and colliding with a tree. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. Another option is to bump up the deductible to bring the cost down.
Coverage for medical expenses
Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance kick in for bills for things like hospital visits, nursing services, pain medications, chiropractic care and X-ray expenses. They can be used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover both the driver and occupants in addition to any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP coverage is only offered in select states and may carry a deductible
