How to buy insurance

Insurance is unique, just like you

• Is other people’s property covered if stolen from my vehicle?
• Why do I need rental car insurance?
• Do I need an umbrella policy?
• Who is covered when they drive my 2003 GMC Sierra 3500?
• What exactly is covered by my policy?
• Am I covered if I hit a deer?
• What if I don’t agree with a claim settlement offer?

If you can’t answer these questions then you might want to talk to an agent. If you don’t have a local agent, simply complete this short form.

Specific coverage details

Knowing the specifics of your policy helps when choosing the right coverages and proper limits and deductibles. Policy terminology can be ambiguous and coverage can change by endorsement.

Comprehensive car insurance

Comprehensive insurance will pay to fix damage that is not covered by collision coverage. A deductible will apply and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for things like hitting a deer, damage from a tornado or hurricane and a broken windshield. The maximum amount your car insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Coverage for medical expenses

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for expenses such as dental work, funeral costs and surgery. They can be used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. Coverage applies to both the driver and occupants and also covers being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal Injury Protection is not available in all states and may carry a deductible

Coverage for collisions

Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your Sierra 3500 resulting from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision can pay for claims such as colliding with a tree, hitting a mailbox and rolling your car. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are older. It’s also possible to choose a higher deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Auto liability

Liability insurance provides protection from damage that occurs to other’s property or people by causing an accident. It protects YOU against claims from other people, and doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.

Liability coverage has three limits: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. Your policy might show values of 100/300/100 that means you have a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, $300,000 for the entire accident, and $100,000 of coverage for damaged propery.

Liability coverage pays for things like loss of income, repair bills for other people’s vehicles, attorney fees, structural damage and bail bonds. How much coverage you buy is a decision to put some thought into, but you should buy as large an amount as possible.

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers

This coverage protects you and your vehicle when other motorists either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. This coverage pays for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as damage to your GMC Sierra 3500.

Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. So UM/UIM coverage is very important.
