When buying proper insurance coverage, there is no perfect coverage plan. Every insured’s situation is different.
For instance, these questions may help highlight whether your personal situation could use an agent’s help.
If you’re not sure about those questions but you think they might apply to your situation, then you may want to think about talking to a licensed agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, take a second and complete this form.
Understanding the coverages of your policy aids in choosing the right coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. Insurance terms can be confusing and coverage can change by endorsement.
Collision – This coverage pays for damage to your 4Runner from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You first must pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision insurance covers claims such as driving through your garage door, hitting a mailbox and crashing into a building. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from older vehicles. You can also raise the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
Coverage for liability – Liability coverage can cover damage that occurs to other’s property or people. It protects YOU from legal claims by others. It does not cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.
Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You might see liability limits of 100/300/100 that means you have a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, $300,000 for the entire accident, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Some companies may use a combined single limit or CSL that pays claims from the same limit and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.
Liability insurance covers things such as legal defense fees, medical services and attorney fees. How much liability should you purchase? That is a personal decision, but buy higher limits if possible.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) – This coverage gives you protection from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered claims include medical payments for you and your occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.
Due to the fact that many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is very important. Frequently these coverages are set the same as your liablity limits.
Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP) – Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for expenses such as EMT expenses, funeral costs, prosthetic devices, doctor visits and chiropractic care. They can be utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. They cover both the driver and occupants in addition to being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
Comprehensive insurance – This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first have to pay a deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive coverage pays for claims such as rock chips in glass, hitting a deer, damage from a tornado or hurricane, a tree branch falling on your vehicle and damage from getting keyed. The maximum payout you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider dropping full coverage.
