Your situation helps dictate your coverage

When choosing the right insurance coverage for your personal vehicles, there really is no perfect coverage plan. Everyone’s needs are different.

For example, these questions may help highlight whether or not you might need professional guidance.

  • What is an SR-22 filing?
  • Will my rates increase for filing one claim?
  • Does coverage extend to Mexico or Canada?
  • Is my trailer covered?
  • Can I still get insurance after a DUI?
  • Is my teenager covered with friends in the car?
  • What is medical payments coverage?
  • Is a fancy paint job covered?
  • Is my ex-spouse still covered by my policy?
  • Why is insurance for a teen driver so high?

If you’re not sure about those questions, then you may want to think about talking to a licensed agent. To find an agent in your area, simply complete this short form.

Specific coverages for a MINI Hardtop 2 Door

Having a good grasp of your auto insurance policy helps when choosing the right coverages and proper limits and deductibles. The terms used in a policy can be difficult to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy.

Liability car insurance

Liability insurance provides protection from damage that occurs to a person or their property. This insurance protects YOU from claims by other people, and doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.

Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. Your policy might show limits of 100/300/100 that translate to $100,000 bodily injury coverage, $300,000 for the entire accident, and a limit of $100,000 paid for damaged property. Occasionally you may see a combined limit which limits claims to one amount and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.

Liability coverage protects against things such as pain and suffering, emergency aid, legal defense fees, bail bonds and funeral expenses. How much coverage you buy is a personal decision, but buy as much as you can afford.

Uninsured and underinsured coverage

This coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when the “other guys” do not carry enough liability coverage. It can pay for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as damage to your MINI Hardtop 2 Door.

Due to the fact that many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family. Most of the time these coverages are similar to your liability insurance amounts.

Comprehensive coverages

This will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first must pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive insurance covers things like hail damage, a broken windshield, damage from getting keyed and damage from flooding. The most you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Coverage for medical payments

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance kick in for short-term medical expenses like doctor visits, X-ray expenses, surgery and nursing services. The coverages can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. They cover all vehicle occupants in addition to getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not an option in every state but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Collision coverage

This coverage pays for damage to your Hardtop 2 Door from colliding with an object or car. You will need to pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision coverage pays for things like sustaining damage from a pot hole, crashing into a ditch and sideswiping another vehicle. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. It’s also possible to raise the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.
