Specific coverages for a Chevy Express

Having a good grasp of your auto insurance policy helps when choosing which coverages you need and proper limits and deductibles. The coverage terms in a policy can be impossible to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Shown next are typical coverages found on the average auto insurance policy.

Collision coverage – Collision insurance will pay to fix damage to your Express resulting from a collision with an object or car. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage pays for claims such as crashing into a building, hitting a mailbox, driving through your garage door, sustaining damage from a pot hole and hitting a parking meter. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. It’s also possible to increase the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Comprehensive insurance – Comprehensive insurance covers damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first must pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive coverage protects against claims like a broken windshield, rock chips in glass, damage from getting keyed, vandalism and hitting a deer. The highest amount you’ll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) – Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other motorists when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered claims include hospital bills for your injuries as well as damage to your Chevy Express.

Since a lot of drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is important protection for you and your family. Normally these limits do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP) – Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance provide coverage for expenses for things like prosthetic devices, funeral costs, doctor visits, X-ray expenses and hospital visits. They are often used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. They cover both the driver and occupants as well as getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Liability coverages – This coverage protects you from damage or injury you incur to other’s property or people. Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. As an example, you may have values of 50/100/50 that means you have $50,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a total of $100,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a total limit of $50,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Another option is one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which provides one coverage limit rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability insurance covers claims such as funeral expenses, court costs, repair costs for stationary objects and structural damage. How much liability should you purchase? That is a decision to put some thought into, but consider buying as large an amount as possible.
