Understanding the coverages of a car insurance policy aids in choosing appropriate coverage for your vehicles. Car insurance terms can be confusing and reading a policy is terribly boring. These are the normal coverages found on the average car insurance policy.
Comprehensive (Other than Collision)
This coverage pays for damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay.
Comprehensive can pay for things like fire damage, hail damage, a tree branch falling on your vehicle and rock chips in glass. The most your car insurance company will pay is the market value of your vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider removing comprehensive coverage.
Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers
This coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other motorists when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered losses include hospital bills for your injuries and also any damage incurred to your Volkswagen Fox.
Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.
Medical expense insurance
Med pay and PIP coverage kick in for immediate expenses for doctor visits, chiropractic care, pain medications and surgery. The coverages can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. Coverage applies to you and your occupants as well as if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP coverage is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
Collision protection
Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your Fox 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 coverage protects against things such as colliding with a tree, colliding with another moving vehicle, driving through your garage door, hitting a parking meter and scraping a guard rail. This coverage can be expensive, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to raise the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.
Liability
This coverage provides protection from damage or injury you incur to people or other property by causing an accident. This insurance protects YOU against other people’s claims, and doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.
Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You might see values of 100/300/100 that translate to $100,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and $100,000 of coverage for damaged propery.
Liability insurance covers claims like repair costs for stationary objects, medical expenses, medical services and court costs. How much coverage you buy is up to you, but buy as high a limit as you can afford.
As you shop your coverage around, it’s a bad idea to buy lower coverage limits just to save a few bucks. There have been many cases where an accident victim reduced liability limits or collision coverage to discover at claim time that saving that couple of dollars actually costed them tens of thousands. Your goal should be to buy the best coverage you can find for the lowest price.
