Understanding the coverages of insurance helps when choosing the right coverages and proper limits and deductibles. Insurance terms can be impossible to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring. Shown next are the normal coverages available from insurance companies.
Collision – Collision insurance will pay to fix damage to your CX-9 from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You first must pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.
Collision coverage pays for things such as hitting a parking meter, scraping a guard rail, crashing into a ditch, colliding with a tree and rolling your car. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from lower value vehicles. It’s also possible to choose a higher deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
Liability coverage – This protects you from damage that occurs to people or other property by causing an accident. It protects YOU from claims by other people. It does not cover your injuries or vehicle damage.
Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You commonly see limits of 100/300/100 that translate to $100,000 bodily injury coverage, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and a limit of $100,000 paid for damaged property.
Liability can pay for claims like legal defense fees, bail bonds, medical services, repair bills for other people’s vehicles and funeral expenses. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a personal decision, but buy as high a limit as you can afford.
Medical expense coverage – Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for bills such as nursing services, prosthetic devices and rehabilitation expenses. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and will also cover if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
Comprehensive protection – Comprehensive insurance coverage covers damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first must pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive can pay for claims like vandalism, fire damage, damage from flooding and rock chips in glass. The maximum amount a insurance company will pay at claim time is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.
Uninsured or underinsured coverage – Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other drivers when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered losses include injuries to you and your family and also any damage incurred to your Mazda CX-9.
Since a lot of drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. So UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.
Affordable 2018 Mazda CX-9 insurance is attainable on the web and from local insurance agents, and you need to comparison shop both to have the best chance of lowering rates. Some insurance companies don’t offer online quoting and these smaller companies work with independent insurance agencies.
When searching for inexpensive auto insurance quotes, don’t be tempted to reduce needed coverages to save money. In many instances, consumers will sacrifice uninsured motorist or liability limits and found out when filing a claim that they should have had better coverage. Your focus should be to buy the best coverage you can find for the lowest price, not the least amount of coverage.
