You are unique and your insurance coverage should be too

When buying the right insurance coverage, there isn’t really a one size fits all plan. Every insured’s situation is different and your policy should reflect that. Here are some questions about coverages that may help you determine if you could use an agent’s help.

• Who is covered by my policy?
• What is high-risk coverage and where do I buy it?
• Does my car insurance cover rental cars?
• Is my ex-spouse still covered by my policy?
• Are rental cars covered under my policy?
• Is rental equipment covered for theft or damage?
• Am I getting all the discounts available?
• What vehicles should carry emergency assistance coverage?
• Does my personal policy cover me when driving out-of-state?
• How high should deductibles be on a 2017 MINI Hardtop?

If it’s difficult to answer those questions but you know they apply to you, then you may want to think about talking to a licensed insurance agent. If you don’t have a local agent, simply complete this short form or you can go here for a list of companies in your area. It is quick, free and may give you better protection.

Insurance specifics

Knowing the specifics of a insurance policy can be of help when determining appropriate coverage at the best deductibles and correct limits. Policy terminology can be difficult to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy. These are the usual coverages offered by insurance companies.

Auto liability

Liability insurance can cover damage or injury you incur to other people or property by causing an accident. It protects you from claims by other people. It does not cover damage to your own property or vehicle.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You commonly see values of 25/50/25 that means you have $25,000 bodily injury coverage, a total of $50,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a total limit of $25,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Alternatively, you may have a combined single limit or CSL which limits claims to one amount with no separate limits for injury or property damage.

Liability can pay for things such as court costs, legal defense fees, bail bonds and loss of income. How much liability should you purchase? That is your choice, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase higher limits if possible.

Collision insurance

This coverage covers damage to your Hardtop caused by collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision can pay for claims such as crashing into a building, rolling your car, scraping a guard rail, colliding with a tree and hitting a mailbox. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. You can also raise the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Uninsured or underinsured coverage

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection from other motorists when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. This coverage pays for hospital bills for your injuries and also any damage incurred to your MINI Hardtop.

Since many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family. Frequently your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are set the same as your liablity limits.

Medical expense coverage

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance kick in for bills for things like prosthetic devices, nursing services, surgery and funeral costs. The coverages can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover 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

Comprehensive protection

Comprehensive insurance coverage pays for damage that is not covered by collision coverage. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive coverage pays for claims like fire damage, rock chips in glass, vandalism and a broken windshield. The most you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider dropping full coverage.
