When in doubt talk to an agent

When buying the right insurance coverage, there really is not a one size fits all plan. Everyone’s situation is a little different.

For instance, these questions can aid in determining whether your personal situation would benefit from professional advice.

• What exactly is covered by my policy?
• Is my business laptop covered if it gets stolen from my vehicle?
• What is PIP insurance?
• I have good health insurance, so how much medical payments coverage do I need?
• Can I drive in Mexico and have coverage?
• Will my vehicle be repaired with OEM or aftermarket parts?

If it’s difficult to answer those questions but a few of them apply, then you may want to think about talking to a licensed insurance agent. If you don’t have a local agent, simply complete this short form. It is quick, free and you can get the answers you need.

Auto insurance coverages and their meanings

Having a good grasp of your policy aids in 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.

Coverage for medical expenses

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for short-term medical expenses like dental work, chiropractic care, doctor visits and surgery. They are used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. Medical payments and PIP cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and also covers getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers

This provides protection from other motorists when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. It can pay for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as damage to your Kia Spectra.

Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. So UM/UIM coverage is very important.

Auto liability insurance

This coverage will cover damage or injury you incur to other people or property by causing an accident. This insurance protects YOU from claims by other people. It does not cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. Your policy might show values of 100/300/100 which means a limit of $100,000 per injured person, a per accident bodily injury limit of $300,000, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property.

Liability can pay for things such as emergency aid, pain and suffering, attorney fees and loss of income. How much liability should you purchase? That is your choice, but consider buying as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision coverage

Collision coverage pays for damage to your Spectra caused by collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You first must pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision insurance covers things like crashing into a ditch, driving through your garage door, sustaining damage from a pot hole, backing into a parked car and rolling your car. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from lower value vehicles. It’s also possible to bump up the deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive auto insurance

This pays to fix your vehicle from 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 things like a broken windshield, rock chips in glass, a tree branch falling on your vehicle and hitting a deer. The maximum amount you’ll receive from a claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
