Having a good grasp of car insurance helps when choosing the best coverages for your vehicles. The coverage terms in a policy can be confusing and coverage can change by endorsement. Shown next are the normal coverages offered by car insurance companies.
Insurance for medical payments
Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for short-term medical expenses for X-ray expenses, rehabilitation expenses, ambulance fees and chiropractic care. They are often used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. It covers all vehicle occupants as well as if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal Injury Protection is not available in all states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance
Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle when the “other guys” do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered losses include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as damage to your Mercedes-Benz G-Class.
Since a lot of 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 should not be overlooked. Most of the time the UM/UIM limits are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.
Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)
Comprehensive insurance will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first must pay your deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.
Comprehensive coverage pays for things like hail damage, hitting a deer and hitting a bird. The maximum payout a car insurance company will pay at claim time is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
Collision insurance
This coverage will pay to fix damage to your G-Class resulting from colliding with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.
Collision coverage pays for claims like sideswiping another vehicle, hitting a mailbox, backing into a parked car and colliding with a tree. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are older. It’s also possible to choose a higher deductible to save money on collision insurance.
Auto liability
This coverage protects you from injuries or damage you cause to people or other property that is your fault. It protects YOU against claims from other people. It does not cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.
Coverage consists of three different limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You might see liability limits of 50/100/50 that translate to a limit of $50,000 per injured person, a limit of $100,000 in injury protection per accident, and a limit of $50,000 paid for damaged property. Another option is a combined single limit or CSL which combines the three limits into one amount rather than limiting it on a per person basis.
Liability can pay for claims such as pain and suffering, legal defense fees and attorney fees. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a decision to put some thought into, but you should buy as high a limit as you can afford.
