Liability coverages – This protects you from damage that occurs to other people or property in an accident. This insurance protects YOU from legal claims by others. Liability doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.
Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. As an example, you may have values of 50/100/50 which stand for a limit of $50,000 per injured person, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and property damage coverage for $50,000. Some companies may use one number which is a combined single limit which limits claims to one amount without having the split limit caps.
Liability coverage protects against claims like emergency aid, attorney fees, court costs, repair bills for other people’s vehicles and legal defense fees. How much liability should you purchase? That is up to you, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as much as you can afford.
Collision coverages – Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your Montero resulting from colliding with another car or object. A deductible applies then your collision coverage will kick in.
Collision coverage protects against things like colliding with a tree, damaging your car on a curb, hitting a mailbox, scraping a guard rail and crashing into a ditch. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from older vehicles. You can also raise the deductible to save money on collision insurance.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage – Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle from other drivers when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family as well as damage to your Mitsubishi Montero.
Due to the fact that many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is a good idea. Normally these limits are set the same as your liablity limits.
Comprehensive coverage – Comprehensive insurance coverage covers damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first have to pay a deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive coverage pays for claims like damage from getting keyed, vandalism and hitting a deer. The highest amount your insurance company will pay is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider dropping full coverage.
Medical payments coverage and PIP – Med pay and PIP coverage pay for expenses such as doctor visits, ambulance fees, rehabilitation expenses, hospital visits and surgery. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. Coverage applies to all vehicle occupants as well as any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is not available in all states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
While you’re price shopping online, you should never sacrifice coverage to reduce premiums. In many instances, an insured cut collision coverage and found out when filing a claim that their decision to reduce coverage ended up costing them more. Your objective should be to buy a smart amount of coverage for the lowest cost but still have enough coverage for asset protection.
Insureds change insurance companies for a variety of reasons including extreme rates for teen drivers, lack of trust in their agent, high rates after DUI convictions or even not issuing a premium refund. No matter why you want to switch, finding a new insurance coverage company is not as hard as you think.
More affordable insurance coverage is possible from both online companies and from local agencies, and you need to comparison shop both in order to have the best price selection to choose from. Some companies may not provide the ability to get quotes online and usually these small, regional companies only sell through independent agencies.
