Learn about insurance coverages for a Chevy Trax

Having a good grasp of your policy helps when choosing the right coverages for your vehicles. The terms used in a policy can be ambiguous and nobody wants to actually read their policy.

Collision coverage protection

This will pay to fix damage to your Trax resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. A deductible applies and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision coverage pays for things such as damaging your car on a curb, colliding with a tree and rolling your car. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. It’s also possible to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive auto coverage

Comprehensive insurance will pay to fix damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You need to pay your deductible first then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive coverage pays for claims like hitting a deer, rock chips in glass, damage from getting keyed and vandalism. The highest amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Liability auto insurance

Liability insurance will cover damages or injuries you inflict on other people or property by causing an accident. Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. Your policy might show liability limits of 25/50/25 which stand for $25,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a total of $50,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and property damage coverage for $25,000. Occasionally you may see a combined limit which limits claims to one amount rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability can pay for claims like repair costs for stationary objects, emergency aid, loss of income and bail bonds. How much coverage you buy is a decision to put some thought into, but buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for short-term medical expenses such as dental work, chiropractic care, pain medications and ambulance fees. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants in addition to if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not available in all states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle when other motorists either have no liability insurance or not enough. It can pay for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and damage to your 2018 Chevy Trax.

Because many people have only the minimum liability required by law, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family. Frequently these coverages are similar to your liability insurance amounts.
