Auto insurance coverages

Having a good grasp of insurance can help you determine the right coverages for your vehicles. Policy terminology can be difficult to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. Below you’ll find the usual coverages found on the average insurance policy.

Collision protection

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage

This coverage gives you protection from other motorists when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered claims include medical payments for you and your occupants and damage to your BMW X5.

Liability can pay for things like medical services, funeral expenses and repair bills for other people’s vehicles. How much liability coverage do you need? That is up to you, but you should buy as high a limit as you can afford.
