Having a good grasp of a insurance policy can be of help when determining which coverages you need for your vehicles. The terms used in a policy can be difficult to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring. Below you’ll find typical coverages available from insurance companies.
Medical payments coverage and PIP
Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for bills for things like nursing services, ambulance fees and pain medications. The coverages can be utilized in addition to your health insurance plan or if there is no health insurance coverage. They cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and will also cover if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal Injury Protection is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage
This protects you and your vehicle from other drivers when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered losses include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and also any damage incurred to your Volkswagen Golf GTI.
Since many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.
Collision insurance
This coverage pays for damage to your Golf GTI resulting from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision can pay for things such as crashing into a building, colliding with another moving vehicle, sideswiping another vehicle and scraping a guard rail. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from older vehicles. You can also choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.
Liability coverages
This can cover injuries or damage you cause to other’s property or people in an accident. It protects YOU from legal claims by others. It does not cover your injuries or vehicle damage.
Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You might see liability limits of 100/300/100 that translate to a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $300,000, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property.
Liability can pay for claims like emergency aid, bail bonds, repair costs for stationary objects, attorney fees and pain and suffering. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is your choice, but consider buying as high a limit as you can afford.
Comprehensive coverage
This pays to fix your vehicle from damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first must pay your deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive coverage protects against claims like a tree branch falling on your vehicle, fire damage, hail damage and damage from getting keyed. The highest amount you’ll receive from a claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider dropping full coverage.
