Having a good grasp of car insurance can be of help when determining appropriate coverage and proper limits and deductibles. Policy terminology can be difficult to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring.
Comprehensive or Other Than Collision – Comprehensive insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. A deductible will apply then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive can pay for things like fire damage, damage from getting keyed, hitting a deer, vandalism and a broken windshield. The maximum amount you’ll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider dropping full coverage.
Collision – Collision coverage covers damage to your GS 300 resulting from a collision with an object or car. You will need to pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision coverage protects against claims like hitting a mailbox, damaging your car on a curb, colliding with another moving vehicle, hitting a parking meter and backing into a parked car. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to choose a higher deductible to save money on collision insurance.
Medical costs insurance – Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance reimburse you for short-term medical expenses such as pain medications, rehabilitation expenses, surgery and ambulance fees. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. It covers both the driver and occupants in addition to any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not available in all states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
Liability – Liability coverage provides protection from injuries or damage you cause to other people or property that is your fault. This coverage protects you from legal claims by others. It does not cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.
Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. As an example, you may have limits of 100/300/100 which stand for $100,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a total of $300,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Occasionally you may see one limit called combined single limit (CSL) that pays claims from the same limit rather than limiting it on a per person basis.
Liability insurance covers claims such as repair bills for other people’s vehicles, court costs, funeral expenses and medical services. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a personal decision, but you should buy higher limits if possible.
UM/UIM Coverage – Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle when other motorists do not carry enough liability coverage. It can pay for injuries to you and your family and damage to your Lexus GS 300.
Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is a good idea. Normally the UM/UIM limits are set the same as your liablity limits.
