• Are rental cars covered under my policy?
• Do I need roadside assistance coverage?
• Do I need special endorsements for business use of my vehicle?
• Is upholstery damage covered by car insurance?
• Does insurance cover tools stolen from my truck?

If you’re not sure about those questions then you might want to talk to an insurance agent. If you don’t have a local agent, simply complete this short form or go to this page to view a list of companies. It is quick, free and you can get the answers you need.

The coverage is in the details

Knowing the specifics of car insurance helps when choosing the right coverages for your vehicles. Policy terminology can be difficult to understand and coverage can change by endorsement. These are the normal coverages found on most car insurance policies.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection from other drivers when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered claims include medical payments for you and your occupants and damage to your Mazda CX-7.

Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage is very important.

Collision insurance

This covers damage to your CX-7 resulting from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You have to pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision coverage pays for things like driving through your garage door, rolling your car and crashing into a ditch. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. It’s also possible to choose a higher deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Auto liability

Liability insurance can cover damage that occurs to people or other property. It 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 injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have policy limits of 100/300/100 which means $100,000 bodily injury coverage, a per accident bodily injury limit of $300,000, and a limit of $100,000 paid for damaged property.

Liability can pay for things like repair costs for stationary objects, medical services, repair bills for other people’s vehicles and attorney fees. How much liability coverage do you need? That is up to you, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as high a limit as you can afford.

Medical payments coverage and PIP

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for immediate expenses such as EMT expenses, rehabilitation expenses, funeral costs, pain medications and surgery. They are used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. Medical payments and PIP cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and also covers any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is not available in all states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Comprehensive coverage

Comprehensive insurance coverage will pay to fix damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You need to pay your deductible first then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive coverage protects against things such as damage from flooding, rock chips in glass and damage from getting keyed. The highest amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.
