Special considerations

When it comes to buying the best auto insurance coverage for your personal vehicles, there isn’t really a “best” method to buy coverage. Your needs are not the same as everyone else’s.

For example, these questions could help you determine whether or not you would benefit from an agent’s advice.

• Can I afford low physical damage deductibles?
• Are all vehicle passengers covered by medical payments coverage?
• Is my state a no-fault state?
• How do I buy GAP insurance?
• Does my 2003 Ford Explorer Sport Trac qualify for pleasure use?
• Will my rates increase for filing one claim?
• Am I covered if I drive in a foreign country?
• Am I getting all the discounts available?
• Am I covered when driving a rental car?

If it’s difficult to answer those questions but you know they apply to you, you may need to chat with an agent. To find an agent in your area, simply complete this short form.

Car insurance 101

Having a good grasp of insurance can be of help when determining the best coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be impossible to understand and coverage can change by endorsement.

Collision coverage

Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your Explorer Sport Trac caused by collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision can pay for things such as backing into a parked car, hitting a parking meter, sideswiping another vehicle and colliding with another moving vehicle. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from lower value vehicles. You can also increase the deductible to bring the cost down.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle when other motorists are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered losses include medical payments for you and your occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is very important.

Insurance for medical payments

Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for immediate expenses such as prosthetic devices, hospital visits and EMT expenses. They are used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. Coverage applies to all vehicle occupants as well as being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

This pays for damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You need to pay your deductible first and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive insurance covers things such as damage from a tornado or hurricane, damage from getting keyed and rock chips in glass. The maximum amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Auto liability insurance

This protects you from damage that occurs to other’s property or people that is your fault. This insurance protects YOU from legal claims by others. It does not cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

Liability coverage has three limits: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You commonly see values of 25/50/25 that means you have $25,000 bodily injury coverage, a limit of $50,000 in injury protection per accident, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property.

Liability coverage protects against claims like structural damage, medical expenses, medical services, repair costs for stationary objects and court costs. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a decision to put some thought into, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as much as you can afford.
