Your car insurance coverage should be tailored to you

When choosing adequate coverage, there really is not a best way to insure your cars. Everyone’s situation is unique.

Here are some questions about coverages that might help in determining whether you would benefit from an agent’s advice.

  • How high should my medical payments coverage be?
  • Does having multiple vehicles earn me a discount?
  • Am I covered if I crash into my own garage door?
  • Am I covered if I hit a deer?
  • Do I need replacement cost coverage?
  • Should I buy additional glass protection?
  • Do I pay less if my vehicle is kept in my garage?

If you don’t know the answers to these questions, you may need to chat with a licensed agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, complete this form.

Auto insurance 101

Learning about specific coverages of a insurance policy can help you determine the right coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be confusing and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.

Comprehensive auto coverage

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You need to pay your deductible first and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage protects against things such as a tree branch falling on your vehicle, hitting a bird, vandalism and damage from flooding. 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 consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Liability insurance

Liability coverage protects you from injuries or damage you cause to people or other property that is your fault. This insurance protects YOU from claims by other people. It does not cover damage to your own property or vehicle.

Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. As an example, you may have liability limits of 25/50/25 which stand for $25,000 bodily injury coverage, a total of $50,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and $25,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Alternatively, you may have a combined limit which provides one coverage limit and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.

Liability coverage pays for claims such as funeral expenses, loss of income and emergency aid. How much liability should you purchase? That is a decision to put some thought into, but buy as much as you can afford.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection from other motorists when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered losses include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Since a lot of drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is very important. Most of the time the UM/UIM limits are set the same as your liablity limits.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for expenses like rehabilitation expenses, X-ray expenses and prosthetic devices. They are often used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. They cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants in addition to being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP is not universally available and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Collision protection

Collision insurance pays for damage to your Element caused by collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You have to pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage pays for things such as backing into a parked car, sustaining damage from a pot hole and sideswiping another vehicle. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from lower value vehicles. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
