What is the best insurance coverage?

When choosing the right insurance coverage, there is no single plan that fits everyone. Your needs are not the same as everyone else’s.

Here are some questions about coverages that can aid in determining whether your personal situation would benefit from professional advice.

  • Can I get a multi-policy discount?
  • Should I file a claim if it’s only slightly more than my deductible?
  • Am I covered when driving someone else’s vehicle?
  • Is my cargo covered for damage or theft?
  • Do I need special endorsements for business use of my vehicle?
  • Can I afford to pay high deductible claims out of pocket?
  • Is my teen driver covered when they drive my company car?

If you don’t know the answers to these questions but you know they apply to you, you might consider talking to an agent. If you don’t have a local agent, simply complete this short form.

Car insurance coverage information

Learning about specific coverages of a insurance policy can be of help when determining appropriate coverage for your vehicles. The terms used in a policy can be ambiguous and nobody wants to actually read their policy.

Coverage for collisions

Collision insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage pays for things like damaging your car on a curb, sideswiping another vehicle, rolling your car, colliding with a tree and hitting a mailbox. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Another option is to choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive coverages

This will pay to fix damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You need to pay your deductible first and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for claims like damage from flooding, fire damage, a tree branch falling on your vehicle, hail damage and hitting a deer. The most you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Uninsured and underinsured coverage

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle when other motorists either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered losses include hospital bills for your injuries as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Since many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is very important.

Coverage for medical payments

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance provide coverage for short-term medical expenses for rehabilitation expenses, X-ray expenses, prosthetic devices and pain medications. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance plan or if you do not have health coverage. Coverage applies to both the driver and occupants and also covers any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Liability insurance

Liability coverage protects you from damages or injuries you inflict on people or other property by causing an accident. This coverage protects you from claims by other people, and doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. Your policy might show policy limits of 50/100/50 that translate to $50,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, $100,000 for the entire accident, and a limit of $50,000 paid for damaged property.

Liability can pay for things such as bail bonds, loss of income and repair bills for other people’s vehicles. How much liability should you purchase? That is up to you, but you should buy as high a limit as you can afford.
