Learn about insurance coverages for a Toyota T100

Having a good grasp of a insurance policy can help you determine the best coverages for your vehicles. The terms used in a policy can be ambiguous and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.

Collision – Collision insurance covers damage to your T100 from colliding with an object or car. You will need to pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision insurance covers claims such as colliding with another moving vehicle, rolling your car, hitting a mailbox and colliding with a tree. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to raise the deductible to bring the cost down.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers – Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other drivers when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. It can pay for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and damage to your Toyota T100.

Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is very important. Usually these coverages are set the same as your liablity limits.

Medical expense insurance – Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage kick in for expenses such as chiropractic care, rehabilitation expenses, doctor visits and prosthetic devices. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance plan or if you lack health insurance entirely. They cover you and your occupants and will also cover being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP coverage is only offered in select states and may carry a deductible

Liability car insurance – 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. Liability doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You might see values of 50/100/50 which means a $50,000 limit per person for injuries, a total of $100,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a limit of $50,000 paid for damaged property. Alternatively, you may have one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which limits claims to one amount without having the split limit caps.

Liability insurance covers claims like attorney fees, pain and suffering, loss of income and legal defense fees. How much liability should you purchase? That is up to you, but you should buy as much as you can afford.

Comprehensive (Other than Collision) – Comprehensive insurance pays for damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You need to pay your deductible first and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for claims like a broken windshield, hitting a deer and vandalism. The maximum payout your insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
