Insurance policy coverages for a BMW 3 Series

Learning about specific coverages of your insurance policy can help you determine appropriate coverage at the best deductibles and correct limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be difficult to understand and coverage can change by endorsement. Listed below are the usual coverages available from insurance companies.

Comprehensive auto coverage

This coverage pays for damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first must pay your deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive insurance covers claims like vandalism, damage from a tornado or hurricane, damage from flooding and fire damage. The maximum payout your insurance company will pay is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Collision coverage protection

This coverage covers damage to your 3 Series resulting from colliding with an object or car. You first must pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision can pay for claims such as hitting a mailbox, backing into a parked car, scraping a guard rail and rolling your car. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from older vehicles. It’s also possible to choose a higher deductible to save money on collision insurance.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

Your UM/UIM coverage provides protection from other motorists when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. It can pay for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Because many people carry very low liability coverage limits, their limits can quickly be used up. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is very important.

Liability coverage

This provides protection from damages or injuries you inflict on a person or their property in an accident. It protects YOU against other people’s claims. It does not cover damage to your own property or vehicle.

It consists of three limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You commonly see liability limits of 25/50/25 that translate to $25,000 bodily injury coverage, a limit of $50,000 in injury protection per accident, and a total limit of $25,000 for damage to vehicles and property.

Liability can pay for things such as bail bonds, medical expenses and loss of income. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a decision to put some thought into, but consider buying as much as you can afford.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Med pay and PIP coverage kick in for bills for dental work, rehabilitation expenses, chiropractic care and funeral costs. They are used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program or if you are not covered by health insurance. Coverage applies to you and your occupants and also covers if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP coverage is only offered in select states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
