Finding Auto Insurance

Once you submit the form, their system pulls credit information and your driving record and quotes a price determined by many factors.

Different people need different coverages

When it comes to buying proper insurance coverage, there isn’t really a best way to insure your cars. Each situation is unique and a cookie cutter policy won’t apply. Here are some questions about coverages that might help in determining whether your personal situation would benefit from an agent’s advice.

• Should I carry comprehensive and collision coverage?
• Does my policy cover me when driving someone else’s vehicle?
• What exactly is covered by my policy?
• Is my cargo covered for damage or theft?
• When would I need additional glass coverage?
• What is the minimum liability in my state?
• Does my medical payments coverage pay my health insurance deductible?

If you don’t know the answers to these questions but you think they might apply to your situation, then you may want to think about talking to an insurance agent.

Coverages available on your car insurance policy

Understanding the coverages of your policy aids in choosing which coverages you need for your vehicles. Car insurance terms can be ambiguous and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. These are the normal coverages found on most car insurance policies.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage – Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other drivers when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered claims include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and damage to your 2001 Mercedes-Benz SLK-Class.

Because many people only carry the minimum required liability limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is very important.

Medical payments coverage and PIP – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP pay for immediate expenses such as chiropractic care, dental work, prosthetic devices, nursing services and ambulance fees. They can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance plan or if you are not covered by health insurance. It covers all vehicle occupants and will also cover getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is not universally available and may carry a deductible

Liability coverage – This coverage provides protection from damage that occurs to other’s property or people. It protects YOU from legal claims by others, and does not provide coverage for damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Liability coverage has three limits: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. Your policy might show values of 100/300/100 which means a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and $100,000 of coverage for damaged propery.

Liability insurance covers things like bail bonds, medical expenses, structural damage, funeral expenses and repair costs for stationary objects. How much liability coverage do you need? That is up to you, but you should buy higher limits if possible.

Collision coverages – This coverage pays for damage to your SLK-Class resulting from a collision with another car or object. 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 colliding with a tree, backing into a parked car and damaging your car on a curb. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. It’s also possible to choose a higher deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive coverage – Comprehensive insurance coverage pays for damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You need to pay your deductible first and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive can pay for things such as vandalism, hitting a bird, a tree branch falling on your vehicle, fire damage and falling objects. The most a car insurance company will pay at claim time is the actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider dropping full coverage.
