Auto insurance coverage breakdown

Learning about specific coverages of your policy helps when choosing appropriate coverage at the best deductibles and correct limits. Auto insurance terms can be confusing and reading a policy is terribly boring. These are the normal coverages offered by auto insurance companies.

UM/UIM Coverage

This coverage gives you protection when the “other guys” either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered losses include hospital bills for your injuries and damage to your Audi A8.

Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is a good idea.

Medical costs insurance

Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for expenses for things like surgery, EMT expenses and rehabilitation expenses. They are utilized in addition to your health insurance program or if you lack health insurance entirely. Coverage applies to not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and will also cover being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal Injury Protection is not available in all states and may carry a deductible

Collision insurance

Collision coverage pays for damage to your A8 from colliding with an object or car. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision insurance covers things like crashing into a ditch, colliding with another moving vehicle, hitting a mailbox and rolling your car. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from lower value vehicles. You can also raise the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for claims such as a broken windshield, damage from flooding and hail damage. The maximum amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Coverage for liability

Liability insurance will cover damage or injury you incur to other’s property or people in an accident. It protects you against claims from other people. It does not cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. Your policy might show liability limits of 25/50/25 which stand for a limit of $25,000 per injured person, a per accident bodily injury limit of $50,000, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property.

Liability coverage protects against claims like repair bills for other people’s vehicles, legal defense fees, structural damage, emergency aid and loss of income. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a decision to put some thought into, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase higher limits if possible.
