• Can I afford to buy a different vehicle if my 2012 GMC Canyon is totaled?
• What discounts do I qualify for?
• Is upholstery damage covered by car insurance?

If you’re not sure about those questions but a few of them apply, you may need to chat with an agent. To find lower rates from a local agent, fill out this quick form. It’s fast, doesn’t cost anything and you can get the answers you need.

Specific coverage details

Understanding the coverages of your policy aids in choosing the right coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be impossible to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy.

Auto liability insurance

This coverage provides protection from injuries or damage you cause to a person or their property. This insurance protects YOU from claims by other people. Liability doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Liability coverage has three limits: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have liability limits of 25/50/25 which means $25,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a limit of $50,000 in injury protection per accident, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property. Some companies may use a combined single limit or CSL which combines the three limits into one amount without having the split limit caps.

Liability coverage pays for claims like repair bills for other people’s vehicles, bail bonds and attorney fees. How much liability should you purchase? That is up to you, but consider buying as high a limit as you can afford.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for bills like ambulance fees, chiropractic care, dental work, prosthetic devices and hospital visits. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. Coverage applies to you and your occupants and will also cover any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is not an option in every state and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Collision coverage

This coverage will pay to fix damage to your Canyon resulting from a collision with another car or object. A deductible applies then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision can pay for things such as scraping a guard rail, backing into a parked car and crashing into a ditch. This coverage can be expensive, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are older. You can also bump up the deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive insurance

Comprehensive insurance coverage will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive coverage protects against claims such as hail damage, rock chips in glass and falling objects. The maximum payout a insurance company will pay at claim time is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider dropping full coverage.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)

This gives you protection when other motorists either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. This coverage pays for hospital bills for your injuries and damage to your GMC Canyon.

Due to the fact that many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, 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. Most of the time these limits are set the same as your liablity limits.
