Your situation helps dictate your coverage

When buying proper insurance coverage, there really is no “best” method to buy coverage. Everyone’s situation is unique.

For instance, these questions might point out whether your personal situation would benefit from professional advice.

• Am I covered if I hit my neighbor’s mailbox?
• Can my babysitter drive my car?
• Can my teen driver be rated on a liability-only vehicle?
• Is there coverage for injuries to my pets?
• Does coverage extend to Mexico or Canada?
• Why am I be forced to buy a membership to get insurance from some companies?
• When would I need additional glass coverage?

If you’re not sure about those questions but you think they might apply to your situation, you might consider talking to a licensed insurance agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, fill out this quick form. It is quick, free and can provide invaluable advice.

Detailed coverages of your insurance policy

Knowing the specifics of insurance aids in choosing which coverages you need at the best deductibles and correct limits. Insurance terms can be confusing and reading a policy is terribly boring.

UM/UIM Coverage – This coverage protects you and your vehicle when the “other guys” are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered claims include medical payments for you and your occupants as well as damage to your Jeep Commander.

Due to the fact that many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is very important.

Liability insurance – Liability insurance can cover injuries or damage you cause to other’s property or people that is your fault. 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, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You might see values of 50/100/50 that means you have a $50,000 limit per person for injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and $50,000 of coverage for damaged propery.

Liability coverage pays for things like funeral expenses, repair costs for stationary objects, court costs and bail bonds. How much coverage you buy is up to you, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as high a limit as you can afford.

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision – This covers damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first have to pay a deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for claims like damage from flooding, fire damage, a broken windshield, rock chips in glass and vandalism. The maximum amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Medical costs insurance – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP reimburse you for short-term medical expenses for things like ambulance fees, rehabilitation expenses, funeral costs, X-ray expenses and EMT expenses. They are often used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance plan or if you lack health insurance entirely. It covers you and your occupants and also covers getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Collision coverages – Collision insurance covers damage to your Commander resulting from colliding with an object or car. You first must pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision insurance covers things like sideswiping another vehicle, hitting a mailbox, scraping a guard rail, crashing into a building and rolling your car. This coverage can be expensive, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are older. It’s also possible to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.
