Understanding the coverages of your car insurance policy can help you determine the right coverages for your vehicles. The coverage terms in a policy can be difficult to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring. These are the normal coverages found on the average car insurance policy.
Collision – Collision insurance will pay to fix damage to your GS 450h caused by collision 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 things like hitting a mailbox, colliding with a tree, rolling your car and crashing into a ditch. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. It’s also possible to choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.
Coverage for liability – Liability coverage can cover damages or injuries you inflict on other’s property or people by causing an accident. This coverage 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 policy limits of 100/300/100 that translate to a limit of $100,000 per injured person, a per accident bodily injury limit of $300,000, and a limit of $100,000 paid for damaged property. Occasionally you may see a combined limit which limits claims to one amount and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.
Liability can pay for things such as medical services, bail bonds, legal defense fees and pain and suffering. How much liability should you purchase? That is up to you, but buy as large an amount as possible.
Insurance for medical payments – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP pay for immediate expenses for hospital visits, EMT expenses, ambulance fees and doctor visits. The coverages can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. Coverage applies to not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants as well as getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance – Your UM/UIM coverage provides protection when the “other guys” are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family and damage to your Lexus GS 450h.
Since many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage should not be overlooked. Most of the time these limits are similar to your liability insurance amounts.
Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision) – This coverage will pay to fix damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You need to pay your deductible first then your comprehensive coverage will pay.
Comprehensive insurance covers claims like a broken windshield, hail damage, damage from getting keyed, vandalism and hitting a deer. The highest amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.
We just showed you some good ideas how you can save on 2007 Lexus GS 450h insurance. It’s most important to understand that the more rate comparisons you have, the higher your chance of finding lower rates. Consumers could even find that the biggest savings come from a small local company. Regional companies can often provide lower rates in certain areas as compared to the big name companies such as State Farm or Progressive.
As you go through the steps to switch your coverage, never buy less coverage just to save a little money. In many instances, someone sacrificed liability limits or collision coverage only to regret they didn’t have enough coverage. Your focus should be to purchase a proper amount of coverage at an affordable rate, not the least amount of coverage.
