Which policy gives me the best coverage?

When choosing the best auto insurance coverage, there really is no “best” method to buy coverage. Every insured’s situation is different.

Here are some questions about coverages that can help discover whether or not you would benefit from professional advice.

  • Do I really need UM/UIM coverage?

  • Do I pay less if my vehicle is kept in my garage?
  • Do I need roadside assistance coverage?
  • Are there companies who specialize in insuring high-risk drivers?
  • What is the rate difference between pleasure use and commuting?

If it’s difficult to answer those questions but one or more may apply to you, you might consider talking to an agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, complete this form. It is quick, free and can help protect your family.

Specific coverage details

Knowing the specifics of your car insurance policy helps when choosing the best coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. Policy terminology can be difficult to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring.

Liability coverage – Liability insurance provides protection from damage that occurs to a person or their property that is your fault. This insurance protects YOU against claims from other people, and doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Coverage consists of three different limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have limits of 50/100/50 that translate to $50,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a limit of $100,000 in injury protection per accident, and property damage coverage for $50,000. Another option is a combined single limit or CSL which provides one coverage limit with no separate limits for injury or property damage.

Liability insurance covers things like medical expenses, medical services, attorney fees, repair bills for other people’s vehicles and emergency aid. How much coverage you buy is up to you, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as high a limit as you can afford.

Uninsured or underinsured coverage – Your UM/UIM coverage provides protection when the “other guys” either have no liability insurance or not enough. It can pay for injuries to you and your family and also any damage incurred to your Nissan Pathfinder.

Because many people carry very low liability coverage limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is important protection for you and your family. Most of the time these limits do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Collision coverage – This pays for damage to your Pathfinder from colliding with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision insurance covers claims such as sustaining damage from a pot hole, colliding with another moving vehicle, sideswiping another vehicle and backing into a parked car. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are older. You can also bump up the deductible to bring the cost down.

Medical expense coverage – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for expenses such as prosthetic devices, chiropractic care, EMT expenses, pain medications and surgery. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. It covers all vehicle occupants and will also cover getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Comprehensive protection – Comprehensive insurance will pay to fix damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first must pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive insurance covers things like fire damage, hail damage and damage from getting keyed. The maximum amount you’ll receive from a claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

The best insurance company isn’t always the cheapest

Drivers leave their current company for many reasons like denial of a claim, unfair underwriting practices, an unsatisfactory settlement offer or high rates after DUI convictions. It doesn’t matter what your reason, switching insurance companies can be easier than you think.

While you’re price shopping online, it’s a bad idea to buy less coverage just to save a little money. Too many times, an insured cut uninsured motorist or liability limits to discover at claim time that their decision to reduce coverage ended up costing them more. Your goal should be to buy a smart amount of coverage at an affordable rate.

The cheapest 1994 Nissan Pathfinder insurance is definitely available from both online companies and also from your neighborhood agents, so you should be comparing quotes from both to have the best chance of lowering rates. Some insurance providers may not provide online price quotes and most of the time these smaller companies sell through independent agents.
