Finding auto insurance

There are several ways you can shop for auto insurance but there is one way that is easier and takes less work. You could waste time talking to insurance companies in your area, or you could use online quotes to get pricing more quickly.

Most of the best insurance companies belong to an insurance system where insurance shoppers submit their information once, and every company can give them a price based on that information. This saves time by eliminating quote requests for each company you want a rate for. To get comparison pricing now click here to start a free quote.

When to get professional advice

These are some specific questions may help highlight whether or not you will benefit from professional help.

  • Who is covered when they drive my 2014 GMC Terrain?
  • Does my insurance cover damage caused when ticketed for reckless driving?

  • Does my car insurance cover rental cars?
  • Do I pay less if my vehicle is kept in my garage?
  • Do all my vehicles need collision coverage?
  • Should I buy more coverage than the required minimum liability coverage?

If you’re not sure about those questions but you know they apply to you, you may need to chat with an agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, take a second and complete this form.

Insurance policy specifics

Learning about specific coverages of a insurance policy aids in choosing appropriate coverage and proper limits and deductibles. The coverage terms in a policy can be difficult to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring.

Auto liability insurance

This can cover damage or injury you incur to a person or their property by causing an accident. This coverage protects you against other people’s claims, and does not provide coverage for your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You commonly see values of 100/300/100 that translate to a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and a limit of $100,000 paid for damaged property. Another option is a combined single limit or CSL which limits claims to one amount with no separate limits for injury or property damage.

Liability coverage pays for claims such as medical expenses, structural damage, pain and suffering and attorney fees. How much liability should you purchase? That is up to you, but consider buying as much as you can afford.

Medical expense coverage

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for bills for things like chiropractic care, dental work and ambulance fees. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. Coverage applies to both the driver and occupants and also covers if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal injury protection coverage is only offered in select states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Uninsured or underinsured coverage

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage provides protection when other motorists either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. It can pay for injuries to you and your family and also any damage incurred to your GMC Terrain.

Due to the fact that many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage should not be overlooked. Normally your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are similar to your liability insurance amounts.

Comprehensive protection

Comprehensive insurance will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for claims such as hail damage, hitting a deer, a broken windshield and a tree branch falling on your vehicle. The highest amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Collision insurance

This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision insurance covers claims such as crashing into a ditch, driving through your garage door, colliding with another moving vehicle, hitting a mailbox and backing into a parked car. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. It’s also possible to choose a higher deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
