The coverage is in the details

Knowing the specifics of your policy helps when choosing which coverages you need and proper limits and deductibles. Car insurance terms can be ambiguous and coverage can change by endorsement. Shown next are the normal coverages offered by car insurance companies.

Medical costs insurance

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for immediate expenses for things like rehabilitation expenses, dental work, EMT expenses and chiropractic care. They can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance plan or if you do not have health coverage. Coverage applies to all vehicle occupants and also covers any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

UM/UIM Coverage

This coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when other motorists are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. It can pay for medical payments for you and your occupants as well as damage to your Mazda Protege.

Since a lot of drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked. Frequently your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are set the same as your liablity limits.

Liability auto insurance

This coverage provides protection from damage or injury you incur to a person or their property by causing an accident. It protects YOU against claims from other people, and does not provide coverage for damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. Your policy might show policy limits of 100/300/100 which stand for a limit of $100,000 per injured person, $300,000 for the entire accident, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Some companies may use a combined single limit or CSL that pays claims from the same limit and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.

Liability coverage protects against claims such as pain and suffering, medical services and structural damage. How much coverage you buy is your choice, but consider buying higher limits if possible.

Coverage for collisions

This coverage will pay to fix damage to your Protege caused by collision with an object or car. You have to pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision coverage protects against claims such as driving through your garage door, scraping a guard rail, rolling your car, colliding with another moving vehicle and crashing into a ditch. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. You can also increase the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision

Comprehensive insurance coverage will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for claims like damage from flooding, hitting a bird and a broken windshield. The most you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

More comparisons equals lower rates

Budget-conscious 1995 Mazda Protege insurance is available from both online companies and from local insurance agents, and you should compare price quotes from both to get a complete price analysis. Some insurance companies do not offer the ability to get a quote online and many times these small insurance companies prefer to sell through local independent agencies.

When searching for affordable insurance coverage quotes, make sure you don’t buy lower coverage limits just to save a few bucks. There are many occasions where an insured cut liability coverage limits only to discover later that the savings was not a smart move. The ultimate goal is to purchase plenty of coverage at the best price and still be able to protect your assets.
