Specific coverages for a Saab 9-3

Knowing the specifics of a auto insurance policy aids in choosing which coverages you need and the correct deductibles and limits. The terms used in a policy can be impossible to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy. These are typical coverage types found on the average auto insurance policy.

Liability auto insurance

This coverage will cover damages or injuries you inflict on other people or property in an accident. It protects YOU from legal claims by others. Liability doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. As an example, you may have policy limits of 50/100/50 which stand for $50,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and a limit of $50,000 paid for damaged property. Occasionally you may see one number which is a combined single limit that pays claims from the same limit rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability coverage protects against claims like medical services, repair bills for other people’s vehicles and legal defense fees. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a decision to put some thought into, but consider buying as large an amount as possible.

Comprehensive coverage

Comprehensive insurance covers damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first have to pay a deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive can pay for things such as hitting a bird, a broken windshield and damage from flooding. The maximum amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage

This gives you protection when other motorists do not carry enough liability coverage. It can pay for hospital bills for your injuries and also any damage incurred to your Saab 9-3.

Since many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages should not be overlooked. Frequently your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.

Auto collision coverage

Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your 9-3 resulting from a 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 insurance covers claims such as colliding with a tree, rolling your car, hitting a parking meter, sustaining damage from a pot hole and backing into a parked car. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so you might think about dropping it from older vehicles. You can also choose a higher deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Medical payments coverage and PIP

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage reimburse you for short-term medical expenses such as doctor visits, funeral costs and pain medications. The coverages can be utilized in addition to your health insurance program or if you are not covered by health insurance. Medical payments and PIP cover both the driver and occupants in addition to being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP is only offered in select states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
