How much can you save with discounts?

Student in College – Any of your kids who are attending college and do not have access to a covered vehicle can be insured at a reduced rate.
Save over 55 – If you qualify as a senior citizen, you can possibly qualify for a small decrease in premiums for Astro Cargo insurance.
Braking Control Discount – Cars that have steering control and anti-lock brakes can reduce accidents and therefore earn up to a 10% discount.

Insurance coverages explained

Understanding the coverages of a insurance policy helps when choosing the best coverages for your vehicles. Insurance terms can be ambiguous and reading a policy is terribly boring.

Coverage for collisions

Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your Astro Cargo from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision can pay for claims such as backing into a parked car, hitting a parking meter, sideswiping another vehicle and colliding with another moving vehicle. 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 increase the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers

Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection from other drivers when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered losses include medical payments for you and your occupants as well as damage to your 2003 Chevy Astro Cargo.

Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.

Coverage for medical expenses

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP pay for bills for hospital visits, ambulance fees and prosthetic devices. They are often utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. Coverage applies to not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants as well as getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Auto liability

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

It consists of three limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have policy limits of 25/50/25 that means you have a limit of $25,000 per injured person, $50,000 for the entire accident, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property.

Liability coverage protects against things such as funeral expenses, emergency aid, legal defense fees, medical expenses and attorney fees. How much coverage you buy is up to you, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as large an amount as possible.

Comprehensive insurance

Comprehensive insurance coverage covers damage that is not covered by collision coverage. A deductible will apply and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage protects against claims like damage from getting keyed, hitting a bird, damage from a tornado or hurricane and rock chips in glass. The maximum payout you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
