You may need specialized insurance coverage

When it comes to buying coverage for your personal vehicles, there really is no “perfect” insurance plan. Coverage needs to be tailored to your specific needs and your policy should reflect that. For example, these questions may help highlight if your situation might need professional guidance.

  • Does medical payments coverage apply to all occupants?
  • Does my personal policy cover me when driving out-of-state?
  • Should I have combined single limit or split liability limits?
  • When would I need additional glass coverage?
  • Am I covered if I hit my neighbor’s mailbox?
  • Is a fancy paint job covered?
  • What exactly is covered by my policy?
  • Am I covered when driving a rental car?
  • What is roadside assistance coverage?
  • Is motorclub coverage worth it?

If you can’t answer these questions but a few of them apply, then you may want to think about talking to an agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, take a second and complete this form or click here for a list of insurance companies in your area.

Detailed coverages of your insurance policy

Having a good grasp of insurance helps when choosing the right coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. The terms used in a policy can be ambiguous and coverage can change by endorsement. These are the usual coverages found on the average insurance policy.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Med pay and PIP coverage pay for bills such as funeral costs, chiropractic care, surgery, rehabilitation expenses and pain medications. They can be utilized in addition to your health insurance plan or if you lack health insurance entirely. They cover both the driver and occupants as well as getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is not universally available and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Auto collision coverage

This pays for damage to your GTI caused by collision with another car or object. You first must pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision can pay for claims such as crashing into a building, hitting a parking meter and scraping a guard rail. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are older. Drivers also have the option to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)

This coverage gives you protection from other drivers when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. It can pay for hospital bills for your injuries as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Due to the fact that many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is a good idea.

Auto liability

This can cover injuries or damage you cause to other people or property that is your fault. It protects YOU against claims from other people, and doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. Your policy might show limits of 25/50/25 which stand for a limit of $25,000 per injured person, $50,000 for the entire accident, and a total limit of $25,000 for damage to vehicles and property.

Liability coverage pays for claims like loss of income, funeral expenses and attorney fees. How much liability should you purchase? That is a personal decision, but consider buying as much as you can afford.

Comprehensive insurance

Comprehensive insurance pays for damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first must pay your deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for claims like a broken windshield, hitting a deer and hail damage. The maximum amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider dropping full coverage.
