Some are obvious like your driving record, but others are not quite as obvious such as your credit history or how safe your car is.An important part of buying insurance is that you know the factors that help calculate car insurance rates. When you know what positively or negatively determines premiums, this enables you to make decisions that may result in much lower annual insurance costs.

  • Better prices on vehicles with better crash test results – Vehicles with high crash test scores get lower rates. Highly rated vehicles reduce occupant injuries and lower injury rates translates into fewer and smaller insurance claims and thus lower rates.
  • Drivers with good credit save on car insurance – Having a bad credit history will be a significant factor in your rate calculation.

  • Can I get a multi-policy discount for packaging my home and auto coverage?
  • Is a fancy paint job covered?
  • When can my company non-renew my policy?

If it’s difficult to answer those questions but you think they might apply to your situation, then you may want to think about talking to a licensed insurance agent. If you don’t have a local agent, fill out this quick form. It’s fast, doesn’t cost anything and you can get the answers you need.

Auto insurance 101

Having a good grasp of insurance can help you determine appropriate coverage at the best deductibles and correct limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be confusing and coverage can change by endorsement.

Insurance for medical payments

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for bills for ambulance fees, funeral costs, surgery and pain medications. They are used to fill the gap from your health insurance plan or if you do not have health coverage. It covers not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants as well as getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP is only offered in select states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Collision protection

This covers damage to your Pickup caused by collision with another car or object. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision insurance covers claims such as damaging your car on a curb, sideswiping another vehicle and crashing into a building. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to raise the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

This coverage will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive insurance covers things such as fire damage, damage from getting keyed, a broken windshield, hitting a bird and damage from flooding. 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 not worth carrying full coverage.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

This coverage protects you and your vehicle when the “other guys” either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered losses include medical payments for you and your occupants as well as damage to your Toyota Pickup.

Due to the fact that many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is a good idea. Usually your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are similar to your liability insurance amounts.

Liability

Liability coverage will cover injuries or damage you cause to other’s property or people. It protects YOU from legal claims by others, and doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have limits of 100/300/100 that means you have a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and $100,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Some companies may use one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which limits claims to one amount and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.

Liability insurance covers claims like pain and suffering, emergency aid, loss of income and repair costs for stationary objects. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is your choice, but consider buying as much as you can afford.
