Car insurance discounts help cut rates

• Theft Deterent Discount – Anti-theft and alarm system equipped vehicles prevent vehicle theft so companies will give you a small discount.

Which is the best car insurance?

When it comes to choosing adequate coverage for your personal vehicles, there really is no single plan that fits everyone. Everyone’s situation is unique.

• Does my 2009 Buick Lucerne need full coverage?
• What is roadside assistance coverage?
• Can I rent a car in Mexico?
• Does my policy cover me when driving someone else’s vehicle?
• Should I have a commercial auto policy?

If you’re not sure about those questions but you think they might apply to your situation, then you may want to think about talking to an insurance agent. If you don’t have a local agent, fill out this quick form. It only takes a few minutes and you can get the answers you need.

Coverage specifics

Learning about specific coverages of your policy can help you determine appropriate coverage at the best deductibles and correct limits. The terms used in a policy can be confusing and nobody wants to actually read their policy.

UM/UIM Coverage – This coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when other motorists are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered claims include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as damage to your Buick Lucerne.

Since many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is a good idea. Normally your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are similar to your liability insurance amounts.

Liability coverage – Liability coverage provides protection from damage that occurs to other’s property or people in an accident. It protects you from legal claims by others, and does not provide coverage for damage to your own property or vehicle.

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. You commonly see policy limits of 25/50/25 which stand for $25,000 bodily injury coverage, a total of $50,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, 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 limits claims to one amount without having the split limit caps.

Liability can pay for claims like medical expenses, repair bills for other people’s vehicles and legal defense fees. How much liability should you purchase? That is up to you, but buy as large an amount as possible.

Medical costs insurance – Med pay and PIP coverage kick in for bills like surgery, hospital visits and rehabilitation expenses. They can be utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. They cover you and your occupants as well as any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision – Comprehensive insurance coverage pays for damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first have to pay a deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive coverage pays for claims like vandalism, rock chips in glass, damage from getting keyed and hail damage. The highest amount you’ll receive from a claim is the actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider dropping full coverage.

Collision – Collision insurance pays for damage to your Lucerne caused by collision with another car or object. You have to pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision can pay for claims such as crashing into a building, backing into a parked car, driving through your garage door and damaging your car on a curb. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. You can also bump up the deductible to bring the cost down.
