Having a good grasp of your auto insurance policy aids in choosing which coverages you need at the best deductibles and correct limits. The terms used in a policy can be difficult to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Below you’ll find typical coverage types found on the average auto insurance policy.
Collision insurance
This will pay to fix damage to your Suburban resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You first must pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.
Collision insurance covers claims like hitting a mailbox, backing into a parked car, rolling your car and colliding with another moving vehicle. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so you might think about dropping it from older vehicles. You can also choose a higher deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage
Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle when other motorists either have no liability insurance or not enough. It can pay for injuries to you and your family and also any damage incurred to your Chevy Suburban.
Due to the fact that many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is very important. Most of the time your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages do not exceed the liability coverage limits.
Liability auto insurance
Liability coverage provides protection from damage that occurs to people or other property. It protects you against claims from other people, and doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.
Liability coverage has three limits: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have policy limits of 50/100/50 which stand for $50,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a limit of $100,000 in injury protection per accident, and a limit of $50,000 paid for damaged property. Alternatively, you may have a combined single limit or CSL which provides one coverage limit with no separate limits for injury or property damage.
Liability coverage protects against things like legal defense fees, emergency aid, repair costs for stationary objects, bail bonds and medical expenses. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is up to you, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as high a limit as you can afford.
Comprehensive coverage
Comprehensive insurance pays for damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive insurance covers things like rock chips in glass, damage from flooding, a tree branch falling on your vehicle, hitting a bird and falling objects. The most you’ll receive from a claim is the actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
Medical payments coverage and PIP
Med pay and PIP coverage provide coverage for immediate expenses for funeral costs, surgery, dental work, prosthetic devices and rehabilitation expenses. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. Coverage applies to all vehicle occupants as well as if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
Cheaper 2014 Chevy Suburban insurance can be purchased both online and also from your neighborhood agents, and you should compare price quotes from both so you have a total pricing picture. Some auto insurance companies may not provide online price quotes and usually these small, regional companies provide coverage only through local independent agents.
While you’re price shopping online, it’s a bad idea to buy lower coverage limits just to save a few bucks. There are too many instances where an insured dropped comprehensive coverage or liability limits only to regret that saving that couple of dollars actually costed them tens of thousands. Your focus should be to get the best coverage possible for the lowest price while still protecting your assets.
