Learning about specific coverages of your insurance policy helps when choosing the right coverages for your vehicles. The terms used in a policy can be impossible to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy. These are typical coverage types offered by insurance companies.
Collision coverage – This coverage covers damage to your X6 M resulting from a collision with an object or car. 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, damaging your car on a curb and scraping a guard rail. This coverage can be expensive, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are older. You can also raise the deductible to save money on collision insurance.
Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance – Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other drivers when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. It can pay for injuries to you and your family and damage to your BMW X6 M.
Since many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. So UM/UIM coverage is very important.
Liability coverages – This provides protection from injuries or damage you cause to other people or property by causing an accident. It protects you against claims from other people. Liability doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.
It consists of three limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You commonly see liability limits of 100/300/100 that translate to a limit of $100,000 per injured person, a total of $300,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a limit of $100,000 paid for damaged property.
Liability coverage pays for claims like pain and suffering, court costs, medical services, attorney fees and bail bonds. How much liability should you purchase? That is a personal decision, but you should buy as large an amount as possible.
Insurance for medical payments – Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance provide coverage for short-term medical expenses for things like X-ray expenses, doctor visits, ambulance fees and funeral costs. They can be utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. They cover you and your occupants as well as if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal Injury Protection is not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision) – Comprehensive insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay.
Comprehensive coverage protects against things like hail damage, hitting a deer, damage from a tornado or hurricane, a tree branch falling on your vehicle and damage from flooding. The most you’ll receive from a claim is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider dropping full coverage.
