Tailor your car insurance coverage to you

When buying the best car insurance coverage, there isn’t really a “perfect” insurance plan. Every situation is different so this has to be addressed. For instance, these questions may help you determine whether you could use an agent’s help.

  • How can I get my company to pay me more for my totalled car?
  • Am I covered when driving in Canada or Mexico?
  • Am I covered when pulling a rental trailer?
  • When should I buy a commercial auto policy?
  • Can I afford to buy a different vehicle if my 2011 Lincoln MKS is totaled?
  • Is a new car covered when I drive it off the dealer lot?

If you don’t know the answers to these questions then you might want to talk to a licensed agent. If you don’t have a local agent, fill out this quick form or you can also visit this page to select a carrier

Specifics of your auto insurance policy

Learning about specific coverages of your auto insurance policy can be of help when determining the right coverages and proper limits and deductibles. Policy terminology can be difficult to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. Shown next are typical coverage types found on most auto insurance policies.

Coverage for medical payments – Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance kick in for bills for things like dental work, pain medications and chiropractic care. They are often used in conjunction with a health insurance plan or if there is no health insurance coverage. It covers not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and also covers any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not universally available and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Collision coverage – Collision insurance will pay to fix damage to your MKS resulting from a collision with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision can pay for claims such as colliding with another moving vehicle, hitting a mailbox, scraping a guard rail, colliding with a tree and driving through your garage door. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to choose a higher deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Uninsured and underinsured coverage – Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other drivers when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered losses include hospital bills for your injuries and also any damage incurred to your 2011 Lincoln MKS.

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. So UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.

Auto liability – This coverage can cover damage that occurs to people or other property that is your fault. This insurance protects YOU against other people’s claims. Liability doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

Liability coverage has three limits: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. Your policy might show limits of 25/50/25 that translate to a $25,000 limit per person for injuries, a limit of $50,000 in injury protection per accident, and property damage coverage for $25,000.

Liability coverage pays for things like pain and suffering, repair costs for stationary objects, medical expenses and legal defense fees. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is your choice, but buy as much as you can afford.

Comprehensive coverages – Comprehensive insurance pays for damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage protects against claims like hail damage, falling objects, damage from a tornado or hurricane and fire damage. The most you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
