Comprehensive insurance pays for damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. A deductible will apply then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive coverage pays for things like fire damage, theft, a tree branch falling on your vehicle and hitting a deer. The maximum payout you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
This coverage pays for damage to your V70 caused by collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You have to pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.
Collision insurance covers claims such as colliding with another moving vehicle, sustaining damage from a pot hole, scraping a guard rail and sideswiping another vehicle. This coverage can be expensive, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. You can also choose a higher deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.
Liability insurance will cover damages or injuries you inflict on other people or property. This insurance protects YOU against claims from other people. It does not cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.
Coverage consists of three different limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. Your policy might show liability limits of 50/100/50 that means you have a limit of $50,000 per injured person, a limit of $100,000 in injury protection per accident, and a total limit of $50,000 for damage to vehicles and property.
Liability coverage pays for things like legal defense fees, structural damage, medical services and funeral expenses. How much coverage you buy is a personal decision, but you should buy as much as you can afford.
Med pay and PIP coverage kick in for expenses for things like surgery, X-ray expenses and doctor visits. They are often used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover both the driver and occupants as well as getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not an option in every state but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
