• Is my teen driver covered when they drive my company car?
• Are split liability limits better than a combined single limit?
• What should my uninsured motorist coverage limits be in my state?

• Am I missing any policy discounts?
• Am I covered if I drive in a foreign country?

Auto insurance coverage considerations

Having a good grasp of a auto insurance policy can be of help when determining the right coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. Auto insurance terms can be confusing and reading a policy is terribly boring.

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

Comprehensive insurance coverage pays for damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first must pay your deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for claims such as theft, rock chips in glass, hitting a bird, fire damage and damage from flooding. The most your auto insurance company will pay is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Collision coverage

This coverage pays for damage to your Canyon resulting from colliding with another car or object. You have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision can pay for claims such as colliding with a tree, backing into a parked car, colliding with another moving vehicle and scraping a guard rail. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are older. It’s also possible to raise the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Insurance for medical payments

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance provide coverage for immediate expenses for pain medications, hospital visits, surgery, ambulance fees and EMT expenses. They are used to fill the gap from your health insurance plan or if you do not have health coverage. Coverage applies to all vehicle occupants and also covers any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP is not universally available but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

This protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other motorists when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered claims include hospital bills for your injuries and also any damage incurred to your GMC Canyon.

Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked. Frequently the UM/UIM limits do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Liability insurance

Liability insurance protects you from damage that occurs to other’s property or people by causing an accident. It protects YOU from legal claims by others. Liability doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: 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 25/50/25 which stand for a limit of $25,000 per injured person, $50,000 for the entire accident, and property damage coverage for $25,000. Some companies may use one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which provides one coverage limit without having the split limit caps.

Liability coverage pays for things like funeral expenses, loss of income, structural damage, legal defense fees and repair costs for stationary objects. How much liability coverage do you need? That is your choice, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as large an amount as possible.
