Knowing the specifics of your auto insurance policy can be of help when determining which coverages you need for your vehicles. Auto insurance terms can be difficult to understand and coverage can change by endorsement. Below you’ll find typical coverages found on the average auto insurance policy.
Collision insurance will pay to fix damage to your 760 resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. A deductible applies and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.
Collision coverage protects against things such as damaging your car on a curb, backing into a parked car, hitting a parking meter, rolling your car and crashing into a ditch. This coverage can be expensive, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are older. Drivers also have the option to increase the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.
Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for expenses like chiropractic care, prosthetic devices, funeral costs and rehabilitation expenses. The coverages can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance plan or if you do not have health coverage. They cover both the driver and occupants and will also cover getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is not an option in every state but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
Comprehensive insurance covers damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive coverage pays for things like damage from a tornado or hurricane, hitting a deer, vandalism and hitting a bird. The maximum amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
Liability insurance protects you from damage that occurs to a person or their property that is your fault. It protects you against other people’s claims. It does not cover your injuries or vehicle damage.
Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. As an example, you may have limits of 100/300/100 which means $100,000 bodily injury coverage, $300,000 for the entire accident, and property damage coverage for $100,000. Alternatively, you may have one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which provides one coverage limit and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.
Liability insurance covers things like funeral expenses, structural damage, court costs and loss of income. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is your choice, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as much as you can afford.
This protects you and your vehicle from other motorists when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered losses include medical payments for you and your occupants and damage to your Volvo 760.
Since many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. So UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked. Frequently your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are similar to your liability insurance amounts.
