Tailor your coverage to you

For instance, these questions might help in determining if your situation might need professional guidance.

Is other people’s property covered if stolen from my vehicle?
Does coverage extend to a rental car in a foreign country?
Is my vehicle covered by my employer’s policy when using it for work?
Do I need PIP (personal injury protection) coverage in my state?
Am I covered by my spouse’s policy after a separation?
When should my teen driver be added to my policy?
Do I need special endorsements for business use of my vehicle?
Are split liability limits better than a combined single limit?
Is a fancy paint job covered?

If you don’t know the answers to these questions, then you may want to think about talking to a licensed agent. To find an agent in your area, complete this form. It’s fast, doesn’t cost anything and may give you better protection.

Information about specific coverages

Having a good grasp of auto insurance helps when choosing the best coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be impossible to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring.

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision

Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first must pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for things like falling objects, damage from a tornado or hurricane, vandalism and a tree branch falling on your vehicle. The highest amount your auto insurance company will pay is the market value of your vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Liability coverages

This coverage provides protection from damage or injury you incur to other people or property in an accident. This insurance protects YOU against claims from other people. It does not cover 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. As an example, you may have values of 25/50/25 which stand for $25,000 bodily injury coverage, a limit of $50,000 in injury protection per accident, and $25,000 of coverage for damaged propery.

Liability insurance covers claims like emergency aid, court costs, legal defense fees, funeral expenses and repair costs for stationary objects. How much coverage you buy is up to you, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as much as you can afford.

Collision coverage

Collision insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You first must pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision coverage protects against things like hitting a mailbox, sideswiping another vehicle and crashing into a building. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.

UM/UIM Coverage

This protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other motorists when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. This coverage pays for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and damage to your MINI Cooper.

Due to the fact that many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their limits can quickly be used up. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages should not be overlooked.

Medical costs insurance

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for bills like ambulance fees, X-ray expenses, surgery and rehabilitation expenses. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. They cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and also covers getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is only offered in select states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
