Learning about specific coverages of auto insurance helps when choosing the best coverages for your vehicles. Policy terminology can be confusing and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.
Comprehensive insurance – Comprehensive insurance pays for damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive can pay for claims like damage from a tornado or hurricane, damage from getting keyed and fire damage. The highest amount you’ll receive from a claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) – This protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when the “other guys” are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered losses include injuries to you and your family and damage to your 2016 Hyundai Equus.
Because many people only carry the minimum required liability limits, their limits can quickly be used up. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.
Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP) – Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage reimburse you for expenses such as rehabilitation expenses, hospital visits and prosthetic devices. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance plan or if you are not covered by health insurance. Medical payments and PIP cover all vehicle occupants in addition to being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP is only offered in select states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
Liability coverages – This coverage can cover damage or injury you incur to other’s property or people by causing an accident. It protects you from claims by other people. Liability doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.
It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You might see values of 25/50/25 that means you have $25,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $50,000, and property damage coverage for $25,000.
Liability insurance covers claims such as court costs, repair bills for other people’s vehicles, medical services and bail bonds. How much coverage you buy is up to you, but buy higher limits if possible.
Collision – Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage from colliding with an object or car. You will need to pay your deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.
Collision can pay for things such as hitting a mailbox, colliding with another moving vehicle, rolling your car and scraping a guard rail. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible to bring the cost down.
