Car insurance policy specifics

Knowing the specifics of a car insurance policy aids in choosing the best coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. The terms used in a policy can be ambiguous and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Listed below are typical coverages available from car insurance companies.

Comprehensive car insurance

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive insurance covers things such as damage from getting keyed, rock chips in glass and hitting a bird. The highest amount you’ll receive from a claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Auto liability insurance

This coverage protects you from injuries or damage you cause to other’s property or people by causing an accident. It protects YOU from claims by other people. Liability doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have liability limits of 50/100/50 that translate to a $50,000 limit per person for injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and property damage coverage for $50,000.

Liability insurance covers claims such as medical expenses, medical services and legal defense fees. How much liability should you purchase? That is a decision to put some thought into, but buy as large an amount as possible.

Coverage for collisions

Collision coverage pays for damage to your xB caused by collision with an object or car. You have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision insurance covers claims such as damaging your car on a curb, crashing into a building and scraping a guard rail. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from lower value vehicles. You can also bump up the deductible to bring the cost down.

Coverage for medical expenses

Med pay and PIP coverage provide coverage for bills for doctor visits, nursing services, ambulance fees, prosthetic devices and X-ray expenses. They are often used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. It covers all vehicle occupants and will also cover any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP is not available in all states and may carry a deductible

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers

This coverage gives you protection when other motorists are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. This coverage pays for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and also any damage incurred to your Scion xB.

Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their limits can quickly be used up. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.
