Learn about insurance coverages for a 2003 Nissan Frontier

Knowing the specifics of your policy helps when choosing the best coverages for your vehicles. The coverage terms in a policy can be impossible to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring. Listed below are typical coverages available from insurance companies.

Collision insurance

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You will need to pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision insurance covers things such as sustaining damage from a pot hole, hitting a parking meter, colliding with a tree and hitting a mailbox. This coverage can be expensive, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. You can also bump up the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive auto coverage

Comprehensive insurance covers damage that is not covered by collision coverage. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive coverage protects against things such as a broken windshield, falling objects, damage from getting keyed, fire damage and hitting a bird. The maximum payout you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for short-term medical expenses for things like surgery, doctor visits and prosthetic devices. They are utilized in addition to your health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover all vehicle occupants and will also cover getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Coverage for liability

Liability coverage protects you from damage that occurs to a person or their property by causing an accident. This insurance protects YOU from claims by other people, and doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have policy limits of 100/300/100 that translate to $100,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, $300,000 for the entire accident, and a limit of $100,000 paid for damaged property.

Liability coverage pays for things like pain and suffering, loss of income and bail bonds. How much coverage you buy is up to you, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as high a limit as you can afford.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when other motorists either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. This coverage pays for hospital bills for your injuries as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.

Take this to the bank

When shopping online for auto insurance, you should never sacrifice coverage to reduce premiums. There are many occasions where someone dropped full coverage and discovered at claim time that it was a big error on their part. The aim is to get the best coverage possible for the lowest price while not skimping on critical coverages.

We just covered a lot of techniques to lower your 2003 Nissan Frontier insurance rates. The key thing to remember is the more you quote, the higher your chance of finding lower rates. Drivers may discover the lowest premiums are with a lesser-known regional company. Some small companies often have lower prices on specific markets compared to the large companies like State Farm or Progressive.
