Auto insurance coverage options for a Toyota Tundra

Having a good grasp of your auto insurance policy can help you determine appropriate coverage and proper limits and deductibles. The coverage terms in a policy can be difficult to understand and coverage can change by endorsement.

Insurance for medical payments – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for bills for pain medications, surgery, EMT expenses, nursing services and prosthetic devices. The coverages can be utilized in addition to your health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. Coverage applies to both the driver and occupants and also covers getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP is only offered in select states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Collision coverage – Collision insurance covers damage to your Tundra caused by collision with an object or car. You have to pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision coverage pays for claims like backing into a parked car, damaging your car on a curb, rolling your car and sustaining damage from a pot hole. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so you might think about dropping it from older vehicles. Another option is to raise the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Liability insurance – Liability coverage provides protection from injuries or damage you cause to other’s property or people by causing an accident. It protects YOU against claims from other people. Liability doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You might see policy limits of 100/300/100 that translate to a limit of $100,000 per injured person, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and a limit of $100,000 paid for damaged property. Some companies may use a combined single limit or CSL which combines the three limits into one amount with no separate limits for injury or property damage.

Liability insurance covers claims such as legal defense fees, court costs, loss of income and emergency aid. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a personal decision, but buy as large an amount as possible.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance – Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other motorists when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. It can pay for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Due to the fact that many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is a good idea. Usually the UM/UIM limits are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision) – This pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first must pay your deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive insurance covers claims like vandalism, damage from getting keyed, a tree branch falling on your vehicle, hail damage and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The highest amount you’ll receive from a claim is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
