Which insurance is the “right” coverage?

• At what point should I drop full coverage?
• Am I covered when using my vehicle for business?
• Am I covered if hit by an uninsured driver?
• Do I need an umbrella policy?
• Why is insurance for a teen driver so high?
• Is my babysitter covered when using my vehicle?
• What is medical payments coverage?
• Does my personal policy cover me when driving out-of-state?
• Is my ex-spouse still covered by my policy?

If it’s difficult to answer those questions but a few of them apply, then you may want to think about talking to a licensed insurance agent. If you don’t have a local agent, take a second and complete this form or you can go here for a list of companies in your area.

Coverages available on your policy

Understanding the coverages of insurance aids in choosing the best coverages and proper limits and deductibles. The terms used in a policy can be difficult to understand and coverage can change by endorsement. These are the normal coverages found on the average insurance policy.

Coverage for medical payments – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for immediate expenses for things like doctor visits, X-ray expenses and prosthetic devices. They can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance plan or if you do not have health coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants as well as getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not universally available and may carry a deductible

Collision coverage – This will pay to fix damage to your Tacoma resulting from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. A deductible applies then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision coverage pays for claims like crashing into a building, hitting a parking meter, sustaining damage from a pot hole, crashing into a ditch and rolling your car. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Another option is to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Coverage for liability – Liability insurance will cover damage that occurs to a person or their property that is your fault. It protects YOU against other people’s claims, and doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. Your policy might show limits of 25/50/25 which stand for $25,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a total of $50,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and property damage coverage for $25,000. Some companies may use one number which is a combined single limit which provides one coverage limit and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.

Liability can pay for things like loss of income, court costs, pain and suffering and bail bonds. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a personal decision, but you should buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Comprehensive coverages – Comprehensive insurance coverage pays for damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first have to pay a deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive insurance covers things such as falling objects, damage from a tornado or hurricane, fire damage, hitting a bird and rock chips in glass. The highest amount a insurance company will pay at claim time is the ACV or actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Uninsured and underinsured coverage – Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when the “other guys” either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered losses include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and also any damage incurred to your Toyota Tacoma.

Due to the fact that many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is a good idea. Most of the time the UM/UIM limits do not exceed the liability coverage limits.
