  • Can I get a multi-policy discount?
  • Do I pay less for low miles?
  • When can my company non-renew my policy?

Educate yourself about insurance coverages

Having a good grasp of insurance can be of help when determining the right coverages and proper limits and deductibles. The terms used in a policy can be difficult to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage

This protects you and your vehicle from other drivers when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered claims include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and also any damage incurred to your Acura TSX.

Since many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is very important. Most of the time these coverages are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.

Collision protection

Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your TSX resulting from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision coverage protects against things like sideswiping another vehicle, rolling your car, damaging your car on a curb and colliding with a tree. This coverage can be expensive, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are older. Another option is to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Medical payments coverage and PIP

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage kick in for bills for X-ray expenses, rehabilitation expenses, pain medications and prosthetic devices. They can be used in conjunction with a health insurance plan or if you do not have health coverage. Coverage applies to all vehicle occupants and also covers if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Comprehensive coverage

Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for claims like falling objects, a tree branch falling on your vehicle and damage from getting keyed. The highest amount you’ll receive from a claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Auto liability insurance

This coverage can cover damage that occurs to other people or property. It protects you against other people’s claims. It does not cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You might see limits of 25/50/25 which means a $25,000 limit per person for injuries, $50,000 for the entire accident, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property. Alternatively, you may have a combined single limit or CSL which combines the three limits into one amount rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability coverage pays for things such as structural damage, emergency aid and bail bonds. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a decision to put some thought into, but buy higher limits if possible.
