It’s important to note that most discount credits are not given to all coverage premiums. The majority will only reduce specific coverage prices like medical payments or collision. Even though it may seem like adding up those discounts means a free policy, car insurance companies aren’t that generous.
Some of the larger companies that have these discounts may include but are not limited to:
Check with each insurance company what discounts are available to you. Some credits might not be available to policyholders in your state.
When buying adequate coverage for your vehicles, there really is not a “best” method to buy coverage. Everyone’s situation is unique so your insurance needs to address that. These are some specific questions may help you determine whether or not you may require specific advice.
If it’s difficult to answer those questions but you think they might apply to your situation, you might consider talking to a licensed insurance agent. If you don’t have a local agent, complete this form or you can go here for a list of companies in your area. It is quick, free and you can get the answers you need.
Learning about specific coverages of insurance helps when choosing which coverages you need for your vehicles. The terms used in a policy can be impossible to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. These are the normal coverages offered by insurance companies.
This coverage pays for damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first must pay your deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.
Comprehensive can pay for claims like a tree branch falling on your vehicle, fire damage, hitting a bird, vandalism and a broken windshield. The maximum payout you’ll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
This pays to fix your vehicle from damage from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You have to pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.
Collision coverage pays for things such as crashing into a ditch, damaging your car on a curb, sideswiping another vehicle and crashing into a building. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Another option is to raise the deductible to bring the cost down.
Liability coverage provides protection from injuries or damage you cause to people or other property in an accident. This insurance protects YOU from legal claims by others, and doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.
Liability coverage has three limits: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have values of 50/100/50 which stand for a limit of $50,000 per injured person, a total of $100,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a limit of $50,000 paid for damaged property. Alternatively, you may have a combined single limit or CSL which limits claims to one amount with no separate limits for injury or property damage.
Liability insurance covers things like repair costs for stationary objects, loss of income and emergency aid. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is your choice, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as much as you can afford.
Med pay and PIP coverage pay for bills like X-ray expenses, chiropractic care, pain medications and doctor visits. They are often used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. Coverage applies to you and your occupants in addition to getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage provides protection when the “other guys” are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. It can pay for injuries to you and your family as well as damage to your Mazda Millenia.
Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is a good idea. Usually these limits do not exceed the liability coverage limits.
