Cheap Insurance Comparisons

• Do I get a pro-rated refund if I cancel my policy early?
• If my pet gets injured in an accident are they covered?

Car insurance 101

Having a good grasp of your policy helps when choosing which coverages you need for your vehicles. The coverage terms in a policy can be confusing and reading a policy is terribly boring. Below you’ll find typical coverage types found on the average insurance policy.

Comprehensive insurance – This covers damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first must pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for things such as damage from a tornado or hurricane, hitting a bird and falling objects. The maximum payout your insurance company will pay is the actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Collision coverage – This will pay to fix damage to your Tahoe caused by collision 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 coverage protects against things such as colliding with a tree, hitting a mailbox, backing into a parked car and hitting a parking meter. This coverage can be expensive, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from lower value vehicles. Drivers also have the option to raise the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers – This coverage provides protection when other motorists do not carry enough liability coverage. It can pay for medical payments for you and your occupants as well as damage to your Chevy Tahoe.

Due to the fact that many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family. Normally these limits are set the same as your liablity limits.

Auto liability – Liability insurance can cover damages or injuries you inflict on other’s property or people that is your fault. Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. As an example, you may have limits of 50/100/50 that means you have $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. Occasionally you may see a combined limit which limits claims to one amount and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.

Liability coverage protects against things such as medical expenses, loss of income, funeral expenses and bail bonds. How much liability should you purchase? That is a decision to put some thought into, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as high a limit as you can afford.

Coverage for medical expenses – Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance provide coverage for bills for X-ray expenses, prosthetic devices, dental work, chiropractic care and rehabilitation expenses. They are often utilized in addition to your health insurance program or if you are not covered by health insurance. Coverage applies to not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants as well as any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP is only offered in select states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
