Understanding the coverages of your policy helps when choosing the best coverages and proper limits and deductibles. The terms used in a policy can be ambiguous and reading a policy is terribly boring. These are the normal coverages found on the average car insurance policy.
Comprehensive auto coverage
Comprehensive insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first have to pay a deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive can pay for things like falling objects, fire damage and vandalism. The maximum amount a car insurance company will pay at claim time is the actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
Medical payments and PIP coverage
Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for short-term medical expenses such as doctor visits, EMT expenses, prosthetic devices and chiropractic care. The coverages can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if you are not covered by health insurance. It covers you and your occupants and also covers getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not available in all states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
Collision protection
This covers damage to your Vibe resulting from colliding with an object or car. You will need to pay your deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.
Collision coverage protects against things such as sustaining damage from a pot hole, colliding with another moving vehicle, crashing into a building and crashing into a ditch. This coverage can be expensive, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible to save money on collision insurance.
UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage
This protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when the “other guys” are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. It can pay for medical payments for you and your occupants and damage to your Pontiac Vibe.
Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. So UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.
Liability insurance
This coverage can cover damage that occurs to other people or property in an accident. It protects YOU against other people’s claims. Liability doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.
It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You might see values of 25/50/25 which means a limit of $25,000 per injured person, a per accident bodily injury limit of $50,000, and $25,000 of coverage for damaged propery.
Liability can pay for things like repair bills for other people’s vehicles, repair costs for stationary objects and legal defense fees. How much liability coverage do you need? That is your choice, but buy as large an amount as possible.
