Auto insurance 101

Knowing the specifics of a insurance policy can help you determine which coverages you need and proper limits and deductibles. Insurance terms can be difficult to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy. These are typical coverage types found on most insurance policies.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)

Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection when the “other guys” are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. This coverage pays for hospital bills for your injuries and also any damage incurred to your Mazda Millenia.

Since a lot of drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is a good idea. Frequently these coverages are set the same as your liablity limits.

Auto collision coverage

This covers damage to your Millenia caused by collision with an object or car. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision coverage pays for things like hitting a parking meter, hitting a mailbox, rolling your car and damaging your car on a curb. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. You can also bump up the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Comprehensive insurance

Comprehensive insurance coverage will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. A deductible will apply and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive coverage protects against claims such as damage from a tornado or hurricane, a broken windshield and damage from getting keyed. The maximum payout you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Liability auto insurance

Liability insurance will cover injuries or damage you cause to other’s property or people in an accident. It protects you against claims from other people, and doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You commonly see limits of 50/100/50 which means $50,000 bodily injury coverage, a total of $100,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and property damage coverage for $50,000. Another option is a combined limit which limits claims to one amount and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.

Liability coverage protects against claims like bail bonds, legal defense fees, loss of income and medical services. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is your choice, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase higher limits if possible.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for immediate expenses like surgery, EMT expenses, ambulance fees, X-ray expenses and hospital visits. They can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. It covers not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants as well as if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP is not available in all states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
