Auto insurance coverages and their meanings

Learning about specific coverages of a auto insurance policy aids in choosing which coverages you need and the correct deductibles and limits. Auto insurance terms can be ambiguous and nobody wants to actually read their policy.

Collision coverage

Collision insurance will pay to fix damage to your Acadia resulting from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You first must pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision coverage pays for claims like crashing into a ditch, damaging your car on a curb, hitting a mailbox, colliding with a tree and driving through your garage door. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are older. Another option is to choose a higher deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Coverage for medical expenses

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for expenses such as rehabilitation expenses, ambulance fees, funeral costs and nursing services. They can be utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. It covers all vehicle occupants and will also cover being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP is not an option in every state and may carry a deductible

Liability insurance

Liability insurance will cover damage that occurs to other’s property or people that is your fault. This insurance protects YOU against claims from other people, 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 50/100/50 that translate to $50,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a total of $100,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and property damage coverage for $50,000. Another option is one number which is a combined single limit which provides one coverage limit with no separate limits for injury or property damage.

Liability can pay for things like court costs, medical expenses and repair costs for stationary objects. How much coverage you buy is a personal decision, but you should buy as high a limit as you can afford.

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. Covered claims include medical payments for you and your occupants as well as damage to your GMC Acadia.

Since many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. So UM/UIM coverage is a good idea. Most of the time your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are set the same as your liablity limits.

Comprehensive auto insurance

This pays for 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 can pay for things like a tree branch falling on your vehicle, hail damage, hitting a deer and theft. The maximum payout you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider dropping full coverage.
