Tailor your insurance coverage to you

When it comes to choosing proper insurance coverage, there really is no “best” method to buy coverage. Your needs are not the same as everyone else’s so this has to be addressed. For instance, these questions can help discover whether you might need an agent’s assistance.

• Am I covered if I drive in a foreign country?
• Are rock chip repairs covered?
• Is extra glass coverage worth it?
• Am I covered if I break a side mirror?
• Does my liability insurance cover pulling a trailer or camper?
• What should my uninsured motorist coverage limits be in my state?
• Am I getting all the discounts available?

If you’re not sure about those questions, you may need to chat with an insurance agent. To find an agent in your area, complete this form or go to this page to view a list of companies.

Specifics of your auto insurance policy

Learning about specific coverages of a auto insurance policy can help you determine the right coverages and proper limits and deductibles. The terms used in a policy can be ambiguous and coverage can change by endorsement. Below you’ll find the normal coverages available from auto insurance companies.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Med pay and PIP coverage pay for immediate expenses for things like nursing services, funeral costs, chiropractic care and ambulance fees. They are used to fill the gap from your health insurance plan or if there is no health insurance coverage. Coverage applies to both the driver and occupants and also covers getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Collision protection

This coverage will pay to fix damage to your Flex resulting from a collision with an object or car. You will need to pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision coverage protects against claims such as sustaining damage from a pot hole, driving through your garage door, hitting a parking meter, hitting a mailbox and colliding with another moving vehicle. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. It’s also possible to choose a higher deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Liability auto insurance

Liability coverage can cover damage that occurs to people or other property. It protects you from legal claims by others, and doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

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 25/50/25 which stand for $25,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, $50,000 for the entire accident, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property.

Liability insurance covers things such as legal defense fees, court costs and pain and suffering. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a personal decision, but consider buying as much as you can afford.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered losses include injuries to you and your family as well as damage to your Ford Flex.

Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage should not be overlooked.

Comprehensive insurance

Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first must pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for claims like damage from a tornado or hurricane, hail damage, falling objects and vandalism. The highest amount your auto insurance company will pay is the actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
