• Discounts for Safe Drivers – Drivers who avoid accidents may receive a discount up to 45% less for Avalon insurance than drivers with accidents.
• Anti-theft System – Anti-theft and alarm systems are stolen less frequently and will save you 10% or more.
• Service Members Pay Less – Having a family member in the military can result in better rates.
• New Car Discount – Buying coverage on a new vehicle can save up to 30% compared to insuring an older model.

It’s not one size fits all

When choosing the right insurance coverage, there really is not a “best” method to buy coverage. Coverage needs to be tailored to your specific needs.

For instance, these questions could help you determine if your insurance needs might need an agent’s assistance.

• When should my teen driver be added to my policy?
• What is an SR-22 filing?
• Does my car insurance cover rental cars?
• Is my camper covered by my car insurance policy?
• Should I have combined single limit or split liability limits?
• How can I find cheaper teen driver insurance?
• If my pet gets injured in an accident are they covered?
• Can I afford to buy a different vehicle if my 1996 Toyota Avalon is totaled?
• Why do I only qualify for high-risk insurance?
• Are my tools covered if they get stolen from my vehicle?

If you can’t answer these questions but you know they apply to you then you might want to talk to a licensed insurance agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, complete this form.

Car insurance coverage considerations

Learning about specific coverages of a car insurance policy can be of help when determining appropriate coverage and proper limits and deductibles. The terms used in a policy can be impossible to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Med pay and PIP coverage provide coverage for short-term medical expenses for things like pain medications, dental work, ambulance fees, surgery and funeral costs. They are used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. Medical payments and PIP cover both the driver and occupants and also covers 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 auto coverage

This coverage pays for damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. A deductible will apply and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive insurance covers claims such as fire damage, damage from getting keyed, vandalism and hitting a deer. The highest amount you’ll receive from a claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider dropping full coverage.

Liability coverages

This can cover injuries or damage you cause to people or other property by causing an accident. It protects you against other people’s claims. Liability 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. You might see liability limits of 25/50/25 which means a limit of $25,000 per injured person, a per accident bodily injury limit of $50,000, and a total limit of $25,000 for damage to vehicles and property.

Liability coverage protects against claims such as loss of income, funeral expenses, emergency aid and medical services. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is up to you, but buy as large an amount as possible.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

This protects you and your vehicle when other motorists either have no liability insurance or not enough. It can pay for medical payments for you and your occupants and also any damage incurred to your Toyota Avalon.

Because many people have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.

Collision protection

This will pay to fix damage to your Avalon 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 can pay for claims such as damaging your car on a curb, rolling your car, crashing into a building and crashing into a ditch. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. It’s also possible to choose a higher deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
