When it comes to choosing coverage for your vehicles, there isn’t really a single plan that fits everyone. Everyone’s situation is unique.
These are some specific questions could help you determine if your insurance needs would benefit from professional advice.
If you don’t know the answers to these questions, then you may want to think about talking to an insurance agent. If you don’t have a local agent, complete this form.
Learning about specific coverages of a insurance policy can help you determine the right coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be confusing and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.
Comprehensive insurance – This coverage will pay to fix damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first have to pay a deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.
Comprehensive coverage protects against claims like fire damage, damage from getting keyed, falling objects and vandalism. The maximum payout a insurance company will pay at claim time is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) – This 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.
Because many people 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. Normally the UM/UIM limits are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.
Liability coverages – This can cover injuries or damage you cause to other people or property by causing an accident. It protects you from legal claims by others. It does not 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 liability limits of 50/100/50 which means $50,000 bodily injury coverage, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and a total limit of $50,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Alternatively, you may have a combined limit which combines the three limits into one amount without having the split limit caps.
Liability can pay for claims such as repair costs for stationary objects, legal defense fees, structural damage, medical expenses and bail bonds. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is up to you, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as much as you can afford.
Collision – Collision coverage covers damage to your Camry Hybrid resulting from colliding with an object or car. You have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision coverage protects against claims like driving through your garage door, crashing into a building, rolling your car, crashing into a ditch and hitting a mailbox. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to raise the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.
Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP) – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for expenses for things like doctor visits, funeral costs, X-ray expenses and prosthetic devices. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover both the driver and occupants as well as getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is not an option in every state but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
