Doing online price comparisons is quite simple because you just enter your coverage preferences into a form. Upon sending the form, their quoting system automatically orders your credit score and driving record and gives you a price quote. Online quotes streamlines rate comparisons, but the work required to visit a lot of sites and type in the same information is not the best way to spend an afternoon.

Tailor your car insurance coverage to you

When it comes to choosing coverage, there really is not a perfect coverage plan. Everyone’s situation is a little different so your insurance needs to address that. Here are some questions about coverages that can help discover if your situation will benefit from professional help.

• Will I be non-renewed for getting a DUI or other conviction?
• Should I rate my 2009 Cadillac STS-V as pleasure use or commute?
• Do I have any recourse if my insurance company denies a claim?
• Am I getting all the discounts available?
• How high should my uninsured/underinsured coverage be in my state?
• Do I need added coverage for expensive stereo equipment?
• How can I force my company to pay a claim?
• Is my cargo covered for damage or theft?

Specifics of your auto insurance policy

Knowing the specifics of a auto insurance policy can help you determine appropriate coverage and the correct deductibles and limits. Auto insurance terms can be ambiguous and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Listed below are typical coverage types found on most auto insurance policies.

Collision protection

Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your STS-V from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage protects against claims like colliding with a tree, damaging your car on a curb, crashing into a ditch and hitting a parking meter. This coverage can be expensive, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. Drivers also have the option to choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.

Medical costs insurance

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for expenses like dental work, rehabilitation expenses, pain medications, funeral costs and hospital visits. They are used to fill the gap from 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 but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Liability coverages

Liability coverage provides protection from damage or injury you incur to people or other property by causing an accident. This coverage protects you from claims by other people. Liability doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You might see limits of 50/100/50 that translate to a limit of $50,000 per injured person, $100,000 for the entire accident, and a limit of $50,000 paid for damaged property. Occasionally you may see a combined single limit or CSL that pays claims from the same limit with no separate limits for injury or property damage.

Liability coverage protects against things such as repair costs for stationary objects, repair bills for other people’s vehicles and structural damage. How much liability should you purchase? That is up to you, but buy as much as you can afford.

UM/UIM Coverage

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection from other motorists when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered claims include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is important protection for you and your family. Usually your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are set the same as your liablity limits.

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first must pay your deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive insurance covers claims like falling objects, damage from getting keyed and fire damage. The maximum amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
