• Should I carry comprehensive and collision coverage?
• Am I covered when using my vehicle for business?
• How can I get high-risk coverage after a DUI?
• Does liability extend to a camper or trailer?
• Will my rates increase for filing one claim?
• Am I covered when driving on a suspended license?
• Do I need rental car coverage?
• What if I total my 2014 GMC Terrain and owe more than it’s worth?

If you’re not sure about those questions, then you may want to think about talking to an insurance agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, complete this form.

Auto insurance specifics

Having a good grasp of auto insurance helps when choosing appropriate coverage at the best deductibles and correct limits. The terms used in a policy can be ambiguous and nobody wants to actually read their policy.

Comprehensive auto insurance

Comprehensive insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first must pay your deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive can pay for claims such as hitting a deer, fire damage, vandalism and damage from flooding. The most your auto insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Coverage for medical expenses

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance provide coverage for short-term medical expenses for things like doctor visits, EMT expenses and rehabilitation expenses. They are often used to fill the gap from your health insurance plan or if you do not have health coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover you and your occupants and also covers any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP is not available in all states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers

This coverage provides protection when the “other guys” are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. It can pay for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and damage to your GMC Terrain.

Because many people carry very low liability coverage limits, their limits can quickly be used up. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages should not be overlooked.

Liability car insurance

This provides protection from damage that occurs to a person or their property that is your fault. It protects YOU from legal claims by others, and doesn’t 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. You commonly see liability limits of 50/100/50 that means you have $50,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a limit of $100,000 in injury protection per accident, and a total limit of $50,000 for damage to vehicles and property.

Liability insurance covers things like bail bonds, medical expenses, structural damage and emergency aid. How much liability coverage do you need? That is your choice, but consider buying as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision protection

Collision coverage covers damage to your Terrain resulting from colliding with an object or car. You will need to pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision coverage pays for things like crashing into a building, hitting a mailbox, rolling your car, colliding with a tree and damaging your car on a curb. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are older. Another option is to bump up the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.
