Car insurance coverages explained

Understanding the coverages of a car insurance policy helps when choosing which coverages you need at the best deductibles and correct limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be difficult to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring. These are the normal coverages available from car insurance companies.

Comprehensive auto coverage

This covers 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 can pay for things like damage from flooding, hail damage and rock chips in glass. The maximum amount your car insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage reimburse you for expenses such as dental work, hospital visits, chiropractic care, rehabilitation expenses and nursing services. They are often used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. It covers all vehicle occupants as well as being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP coverage is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

This protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when the “other guys” do not carry enough liability coverage. This coverage pays for medical payments for you and your occupants and also any damage incurred to your 2009 Chevy Express.

Since many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their limits can quickly be used up. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.

Auto collision coverage

Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by collision with an object or car. You have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision can pay for claims like crashing into a building, damaging your car on a curb, rolling your car and sustaining damage from a pot hole. This coverage can be expensive, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. You can also choose a higher deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Auto liability

Liability insurance provides protection from damage that occurs to people or other property that is your fault. It protects you from claims by other people. Liability doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.

It consists of three limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. Your policy might show policy limits of 100/300/100 that means you have a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $300,000, and $100,000 of coverage for damaged propery.

Liability can pay for things like repair bills for other people’s vehicles, funeral expenses and bail bonds. How much coverage you buy is up to you, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as large an amount as possible.
