How much does insurance coverage cost?

There are multiple methods to compare insurance coverage quotes, and some are less labor-intensive and much quicker. You could spend the better part of a day talking to insurance companies in your area, or you could use the web to achieve your goal.

Most of the best insurance companies participate in a marketplace that allows shoppers to submit one quote, and each company returns a competitive quote based on the submitted data. This eliminates the need for quote requests to each company.

What is the best auto insurance coverage?

When it comes to choosing coverage for your personal vehicles, there is no cookie cutter policy. Everyone’s situation is a little different and a cookie cutter policy won’t apply. For example, these questions might help in determining if you may require specific advice.

Am I covered if I drive in a foreign country?
Is other people’s property covered if stolen from my vehicle?
Do I pay less if my vehicle is kept in my garage?
Am I covered if I crash into my own garage door?
Is business property covered if stolen from my car?
Why do I only qualify for high-risk insurance?
Should I have combined single limit or split liability limits?

If you’re not sure about those questions but a few of them apply, then you may want to think about talking to a licensed insurance agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, take a second and complete this form or you can go here for a list of companies in your area.

Information about specific coverages

Understanding the coverages of your policy can be of help when determining the best coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. Policy terminology can be confusing and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. Listed below are the usual coverages found on the average car insurance policy.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for bills like ambulance fees, pain medications and nursing services. They can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance plan or if you do not have health coverage. They cover both the driver and occupants and will also cover being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP is not an option in every state and may carry a deductible

Collision coverage

Collision coverage covers damage to your Sprinter from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. A deductible applies then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision can pay for things such as colliding with another moving vehicle, damaging your car on a curb, driving through your garage door, scraping a guard rail and sustaining damage from a pot hole. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are older. You can also raise the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle when other motorists either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered losses include injuries to you and your family and also any damage incurred to your 2010 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter.

Since many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family. Most of the time your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Comprehensive insurance

This will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first must pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for claims like theft, a tree branch falling on your vehicle, fire damage and hitting a bird. The maximum amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Liability auto insurance

Liability coverage protects you from damage or injury you incur to people or other property in an accident. This insurance protects YOU from legal claims by others, and does not provide coverage for your injuries or vehicle damage.

Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You might see liability limits of 25/50/25 that translate to $25,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, $50,000 for the entire accident, and $25,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Alternatively, you may have one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which provides one coverage limit without having the split limit caps.

Liability coverage protects against things such as medical services, medical expenses and emergency aid. How much coverage you buy is a decision to put some thought into, but buy as much as you can afford.
