When should I discuss my situation with an agent?

When it comes to buying proper insurance coverage for your personal vehicles, there really is not a “perfect” insurance plan. Everyone’s needs are different so your insurance needs to address that. For example, these questions may help highlight whether you would benefit from professional advice.

• Is my ex-spouse still covered by my policy?
• Am I covered if my car is in a flood?
• Am I better off with higher deductibles on my 2010 Mazda Tribute?
• When would I need additional glass coverage?
• Are all vehicle passengers covered by medical payments coverage?
• Can my teen driver be rated on a liability-only vehicle?
• Should I waive the damage coverage when renting a car?

If you’re not sure about those questions but one or more may apply to you, you might consider talking to a licensed insurance agent. To find an agent in your area, 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.

What car insurance coverages do you need?

Having a good grasp of your car insurance policy can be of help when determining the right coverages for your vehicles. Policy terminology can be confusing and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Below you’ll find typical coverage types offered by car insurance companies.

Liability auto insurance

This protects you from damage that occurs to other’s property or people in an accident. It protects YOU from claims by other people. It does not cover damage to your own property or vehicle.

Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You might see values of 25/50/25 which stand for $25,000 bodily injury coverage, a total of $50,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a total limit of $25,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Alternatively, you may have one number which is a combined single limit that pays claims from the same limit with no separate limits for injury or property damage.

Liability insurance covers claims like structural damage, repair costs for stationary objects, attorney fees and bail bonds. How much liability coverage do you need? That is your choice, but buy as high a limit as you can afford.

Coverage for medical expenses

Med pay and PIP coverage provide coverage for bills for things like funeral costs, ambulance fees and dental work. They are utilized in addition to your health insurance plan or if you do not have health coverage. It covers all vehicle occupants in addition to getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP is not an option in every state and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle when the “other guys” are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered losses include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as damage to your Mazda Tribute.

Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family. Normally the UM/UIM limits are set the same as your liablity limits.

Auto collision coverage

Collision insurance will pay to fix damage to your Tribute resulting from a collision with an object or car. You have to pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage protects against claims such as sideswiping another vehicle, hitting a mailbox, damaging your car on a curb, colliding with another moving vehicle and sustaining damage from a pot hole. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. Drivers also have the option to increase the deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive car insurance

This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first have to pay a deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive insurance covers things such as damage from getting keyed, theft, vandalism, hitting a bird and hail damage. The highest amount your car insurance company will pay is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.
