When should I talk to an agent?

When it comes to buying the best car insurance coverage for your vehicles, there really is no single plan that fits everyone. Your needs are not the same as everyone else’s.

These are some specific questions may help you determine whether you would benefit from professional advice.

• Do I have coverage when using my vehicle for my home business?
• Does insurance cover tools stolen from my truck?
• Do all my vehicles need collision coverage?
• Do I need PIP coverage since I have good health insurance?
• Are split liability limits better than a combined single limit?
• Does my insurance cover my expensive audio equipment?
• Should I buy more coverage than the required minimum liability coverage?
• What is no-fault insurance?

If it’s difficult to answer those questions but you know they apply to you, you may need to chat with a licensed insurance agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, fill out this quick form.

Car insurance policy specifics

Knowing the specifics of your car insurance policy can help you determine which coverages you need and the correct deductibles and limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be difficult to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy.

Comprehensive insurance – Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage that is not covered by collision coverage. A deductible will apply then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for claims such as hitting a bird, hail damage and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The maximum payout you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) – This coverage provides protection from other drivers when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Since a lot of drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their limits can quickly be used up. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is very important.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP) – Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for expenses like rehabilitation expenses, hospital visits, surgery, funeral costs and ambulance fees. They are often used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. They cover both the driver and occupants and also covers being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP is not an option in every state and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Collision – Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. A deductible applies and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision insurance covers things like colliding with another moving vehicle, hitting a mailbox, crashing into a ditch and scraping a guard rail. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. You can also increase the deductible to bring the cost down.

Liability insurance – Liability insurance can cover damage or injury you incur to other’s property or people that is your fault. It protects you against claims from other people, and doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You might see limits of 50/100/50 which stand for $50,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and property damage coverage for $50,000.

Liability can pay for claims like medical services, bail bonds, court costs, loss of income and emergency aid. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is your choice, but buy as high a limit as you can afford.
