Having a good grasp of a auto insurance policy helps when choosing which coverages you need for your vehicles. Auto insurance terms can be impossible to understand and coverage can change by endorsement. Below you’ll find typical coverages found on the average auto insurance policy.
Collision insurance
Collision insurance covers damage to your 760 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 crashing into a ditch, driving through your garage door, sustaining damage from a pot hole, crashing into a building and damaging your car on a curb. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible to save money on collision insurance.
Medical expense insurance
Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for bills for things like EMT expenses, prosthetic devices and funeral costs. The coverages can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. It covers not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and will also cover being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP coverage is not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
Liability coverages
This coverage provides protection from damage that occurs to other’s property or people that is your fault. It protects you against other people’s claims. It does not cover your injuries or vehicle damage.
Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. Your policy might show values of 25/50/25 that means you have a limit of $25,000 per injured person, a limit of $50,000 in injury protection per accident, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property.
Liability insurance covers things like repair bills for other people’s vehicles, structural damage, funeral expenses and pain and suffering. How much liability coverage do you need? That is your choice, but you should buy as much as you can afford.
Comprehensive (Other than Collision)
This pays for damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive can pay for claims such as hail damage, a broken windshield, fire damage, falling objects and theft. The maximum payout you’ll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers
Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage provides protection from other motorists when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. It can pay for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.
Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is very important.
