Car insurance 101

Knowing the specifics of a insurance policy aids in choosing which coverages you need for your vehicles. The coverage terms in a policy can be ambiguous and reading a policy is terribly boring.

Insurance for medical payments

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for expenses such as X-ray expenses, funeral costs, surgery, nursing services and dental work. The coverages can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. It covers all vehicle occupants as well as getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not an option in every state but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Liability coverage

Liability insurance will cover damage that occurs to other people or property in an accident. This insurance protects YOU from claims by other people. Liability doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.

It consists of three limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. As an example, you may have limits of 100/300/100 which means a limit of $100,000 per injured person, a total of $300,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and property damage coverage for $100,000.

Liability coverage protects against things like funeral expenses, loss of income, medical services and emergency aid. How much coverage you buy is a decision to put some thought into, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as large an amount as possible.

Collision coverage protection

This will pay to fix damage to your S-10 Blazer from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision can pay for claims such as crashing into a ditch, backing into a parked car and crashing into a building. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. It’s also possible to raise the deductible to bring the cost down.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

This protects you and your vehicle when the “other guys” do not carry enough liability coverage. It can pay for injuries to you and your family as well as damage to your Chevy S-10 Blazer.

Because many people have only the minimum liability required by law, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is a good idea.

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

Comprehensive insurance will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for things such as damage from flooding, a broken windshield, vandalism and fire damage. The maximum payout you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider dropping full coverage.

Be a penny pincher

Cheaper 2003 Chevy S-10 Blazer insurance can be purchased online as well as from independent agents, so you should compare both so you have a total pricing picture. Some insurance coverage companies don’t offer online price quotes and usually these small, regional companies provide coverage only through local independent agents.

When you buy insurance online, don’t be tempted to skimp on critical coverages to save a buck or two. There are too many instances where an insured cut liability limits or collision coverage only to discover later that it was a big error on their part. The aim is to buy enough coverage at the best price while not skimping on critical coverages.

People change insurance companies for a variety of reasons including an unsatisfactory settlement offer, questionable increases in premium, high rates after DUI convictions or policy non-renewal. Regardless of your reason for switching companies, finding a new company is not as difficult as it may seem.
