Insurance coverage can be pricey, but there could be significant discounts that many consumers don’t even know exist. Some of these disounts will be visible at quote time, but some discounts are required to be requested specifically before you will receive the discount.

Knowing the specifics of your policy can help you determine which coverages you need at the best deductibles and correct limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be ambiguous and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.
Comprehensive or Other Than Collision
Comprehensive insurance 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 insurance covers things like hitting a bird, falling objects, damage from flooding, damage from a tornado or hurricane and vandalism. 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.
Medical costs insurance
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for short-term medical expenses for rehabilitation expenses, hospital visits and funeral costs. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you lack health insurance entirely. It covers all vehicle occupants and also covers getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not available in all states and may carry a deductible
UM/UIM Coverage
This protects you and your vehicle from other motorists when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family as well as your vehicle’s damage.
Due to the fact that many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their limits can quickly be used up. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is very important. Usually your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are similar to your liability insurance amounts.
Collision protection
This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage from colliding with an object or car. You have to pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.
Collision coverage protects against claims such as sideswiping another vehicle, crashing into a ditch, rolling your car and colliding with another moving vehicle. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. You can also increase the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
Liability car insurance
This protects you from damages or injuries you inflict on other’s property or people by causing an accident. It protects you from claims by other people. Liability doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.
Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You might see policy limits of 100/300/100 which means $100,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Some companies may use a combined single limit or CSL which limits claims to one amount without having the split limit caps.
Liability coverage pays for claims such as legal defense fees, attorney fees, court costs, medical expenses and loss of income. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a personal decision, but consider buying as much as you can afford.
Drivers leave their current company for many reasons like policy non-renewal, delays in paying claims, high prices and not issuing a premium refund. It doesn’t matter why you want to switch finding a new car insurance company is not as hard as you think.
