Specific coverages for a Chevy Captiva Sport

Understanding the coverages of your policy helps when choosing appropriate coverage and proper limits and deductibles. The terms used in a policy can be difficult to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.

Liability car insurance

Liability coverage provides protection from damage that occurs to other people or property that is your fault. This coverage protects you against claims from other people, and doesn’t 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. As an example, you may have liability limits of 50/100/50 which stand for a limit of $50,000 per injured person, a limit of $100,000 in injury protection per accident, and $50,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Alternatively, you may have a combined single limit or CSL that pays claims from the same limit rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability coverage pays for claims such as funeral expenses, court costs, repair costs for stationary objects and legal defense fees. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is your choice, but consider buying as much as you can afford.

Auto collision coverage

This coverage will pay to fix damage to your Captiva Sport from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision coverage pays for claims such as colliding with another moving vehicle, driving through your garage door and hitting a mailbox. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. Another option is to choose a higher deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for immediate expenses for rehabilitation expenses, prosthetic devices and X-ray expenses. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance plan or if you are not covered by health insurance. They cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants as well as being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal Injury Protection is not universally available and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection from other drivers when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. It can pay for medical payments for you and your occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Because many people carry very low liability coverage limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage should not be overlooked. Most of the time your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are set the same as your liablity limits.

Comprehensive auto coverage

Comprehensive insurance coverage covers damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive insurance covers things like rock chips in glass, a tree branch falling on your vehicle, hitting a deer and theft. The highest amount your auto insurance company will pay is the actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
