Tailor your car insurance coverage to you

When it comes to buying the right insurance coverage for your personal vehicles, there isn’t really a single plan that fits everyone. Everyone’s needs are different.

For example, these questions could help you determine if your situation would benefit from an agent’s advice.

  • Am I covered when renting a car or should I buy coverage from the car rental agency?
  • What vehicles should carry emergency assistance coverage?
  • Do I have newly-aquired coverage?
  • Do I have coverage when using my vehicle for my home business?
  • How can I get high-risk coverage after a DUI?
  • If my 1998 Pontiac Firebird is totaled, can I afford another vehicle?

If you don’t know the answers to these questions but a few of them apply then you might want to talk to an insurance agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, complete this form.

Car insurance coverage breakdown

Knowing the specifics of your car insurance policy can help you determine the right coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. The terms used in a policy can be ambiguous and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.

Coverage for liability – Liability insurance provides protection from damage that occurs to a person or their property that is your fault. It protects YOU against other people’s claims. It does not cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. As an example, you may have policy limits of 25/50/25 that translate to $25,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $50,000, and a total limit of $25,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Alternatively, you may have one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which combines the three limits into one amount rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability insurance covers claims such as legal defense fees, funeral expenses and pain and suffering. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a personal decision, but you should buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Uninsured and underinsured coverage – This coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. It can pay for hospital bills for your injuries and damage to your Pontiac Firebird.

Because many people only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage should not be overlooked. Normally the UM/UIM limits are set the same as your liablity limits.

Coverage for medical payments – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for immediate expenses such as surgery, rehabilitation expenses, nursing services and ambulance fees. They are often used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. Coverage applies to both the driver and occupants and also covers if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Comprehensive coverages – 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 protects against claims like falling objects, hail damage and damage from getting keyed. The maximum amount your car insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Collision coverage – Collision insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by collision with an object or car. A deductible applies then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage protects against claims like driving through your garage door, scraping a guard rail, sideswiping another vehicle and crashing into a building. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. You can also raise the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
