Are you earning every discount?

Some insurance providers don’t always list the complete list of policy discounts very clearly, so we took the time to find a few of the more common and also the lesser-known discounts that you can inquire about if you buy insurance online.

Auto insurance coverage considerations

Learning about specific coverages of auto insurance aids in choosing the right coverages for your vehicles. The coverage terms in a policy can be impossible to understand and coverage can change by endorsement. Shown next are typical coverage types found on the average auto insurance policy.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage pay for short-term medical expenses like EMT expenses, hospital visits and dental work. They can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. They cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants in addition to getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP is not available in all states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Coverage for liability

This coverage provides protection from damages or injuries you inflict on other’s property or people. It protects you from legal claims by others. It does not cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Liability coverage has three limits: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You might see policy limits of 100/300/100 that means you have a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, $300,000 for the entire accident, and $100,000 of coverage for damaged propery.

Liability coverage pays for things such as medical expenses, funeral expenses, bail bonds and loss of income. How much coverage you buy is your choice, but consider buying higher limits if possible.

Coverage for collisions

Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your Tahoe Hybrid resulting from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. A deductible applies and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision can pay for things like scraping a guard rail, sustaining damage from a pot hole and rolling your car. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. It’s also possible to increase the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other drivers when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. This coverage pays for medical payments for you and your occupants as well as damage to your Chevy Tahoe Hybrid.

Due to the fact that many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. So UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.

Comprehensive insurance

Comprehensive insurance coverage pays for damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first must pay your deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive coverage pays for claims like hitting a deer, fire damage, damage from a tornado or hurricane and hitting a bird. The maximum amount a auto insurance company will pay at claim time is the ACV or actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider removing comprehensive coverage.
