Tailor your insurance coverage to you

  • When should my teen driver be added to my policy?
  • Are all vehicle passengers covered by medical payments coverage?
  • Should I bundle my homeowners policy with my auto?
  • At what point should I drop full coverage?
  • Do I need higher collision deductibles?
  • Am I covered if I hit my neighbor’s mailbox?
  • How much liability coverage do I need in my state?

If you can’t answer these questions, you might consider talking to a licensed insurance agent. To find an agent in your area, take a second and complete this form or you can go here for a list of companies in your area.

Parts of your insurance policy

Having a good grasp of your insurance policy helps when choosing the right coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. Insurance terms can be ambiguous and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Below you’ll find the usual coverages available from insurance companies.

Medical payments and PIP coverage – Med pay and PIP coverage pay for bills for prosthetic devices, EMT expenses, funeral costs, pain medications and chiropractic care. They are often used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if you lack health insurance entirely. They cover all vehicle occupants in addition to getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP is not available in all states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Comprehensive auto coverage – This coverage covers damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for claims like rock chips in glass, damage from flooding, a tree branch falling on your vehicle and fire damage. The most a insurance company will pay at claim time is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Liability coverages – Liability insurance provides protection from damage or injury you incur to people or other property in an accident. This insurance protects YOU against other people’s claims, and does not provide coverage for your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Liability coverage has three limits: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. Your policy might show liability limits of 50/100/50 which stand for a limit of $50,000 per injured person, $100,000 for the entire accident, and property damage coverage for $50,000.

Liability can pay for claims like medical services, court costs and repair costs for stationary objects. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a personal decision, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as large an amount as possible.

Collision – Collision insurance will pay to fix damage to your ES 330 resulting from a collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You first must pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision can pay for claims like sustaining damage from a pot hole, damaging your car on a curb and backing into a parked car. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. Another option is to choose a higher deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage – This gives you protection from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. This coverage pays for injuries to you and your family and also any damage incurred to your 2004 Lexus ES 330.

Since many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is a good idea.
