Tailor your auto insurance coverage to you

When it comes to choosing coverage for your personal vehicles, there really is no “perfect” insurance plan. Everyone’s needs are different and a cookie cutter policy won’t apply. For example, these questions may help you determine whether or not you might need an agent’s assistance.

• Why am I required to get a high-risk car insurance policy?
• What vehicles should carry emergency assistance coverage?
• Is my nanny covered when driving my vehicle?
• Do I need replacement cost coverage?
• Do I have coverage when using my vehicle for my home business?
• I have health insurance so do I need medical payments coverage?
• Do I pay less for low miles?
• Does my policy cover me when driving someone else’s vehicle?

If it’s difficult to answer those questions, you might consider talking to a licensed insurance agent. If you don’t have a local agent, simply complete this short form or you can go here for a list of companies in your area. It only takes a few minutes and you can get the answers you need.

Auto insurance coverages

Having a good grasp of your policy aids in choosing which coverages you need and the correct deductibles and limits. Insurance terms can be impossible to understand and coverage can change by endorsement. Listed below are typical coverage types offered by insurance companies.

Liability insurance

This can cover damage that occurs to a person or their property. It protects you against claims from other people, and doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You might see liability limits of 50/100/50 which means $50,000 bodily injury coverage, $100,000 for the entire accident, and property damage coverage for $50,000.

Liability coverage protects against things such as bail bonds, medical services and repair bills for other people’s vehicles. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a decision to put some thought into, but buy as much as you can afford.

Comprehensive coverages

This coverage covers damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first must pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive insurance covers claims such as damage from getting keyed, theft and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The maximum payout a insurance company will pay at claim time is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Coverage for medical payments

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance reimburse you for immediate expenses such as doctor visits, dental work, hospital visits and pain medications. They are often used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. They cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and also covers if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP is not available in all states and may carry a deductible

Uninsured and underinsured coverage

This protects you and your vehicle from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. It can pay for injuries to you and your family and also any damage incurred to your Subaru Forester.

Because many people only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.

Collision coverage protection

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from colliding with an object or car. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision can pay for claims like crashing into a ditch, scraping a guard rail and hitting a parking meter. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. It’s also possible to increase the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
