Insurance agents can help

When choosing the right insurance coverage, there is no “perfect” insurance plan. Coverage needs to be tailored to your specific needs and a cookie cutter policy won’t apply. Here are some questions about coverages that could help you determine if your insurance needs could use an agent’s help.

• Am I covered when delivering products for my home-based business?
• How do I buy GAP insurance?
• Should I get collision insurance on every vehicle?
• Does my insurance cover my expensive audio equipment?
• How do I file an SR-22 for a DUI in my state?
• Can I afford to buy a different vehicle if my 2011 Volkswagen Touareg is totaled?
• Does my policy cover me when driving someone else’s vehicle?

If you can’t answer these questions but a few of them apply, you might consider talking to a licensed agent. If you don’t have a local agent, fill out this quick form or you can also visit this page to select a carrier

What auto insurance coverages do you need?

Having a good grasp of a auto insurance policy aids in choosing the best coverages for your vehicles. The terms used in a policy can be impossible to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. Listed below are the usual coverages offered by auto insurance companies.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when other motorists do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered losses include injuries to you and your family as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Since a lot of drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family. Frequently these coverages are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.

Auto liability

This coverage will cover damages or injuries you inflict on a person or their property that is your fault. This insurance protects YOU from claims by other people, and does not provide coverage for 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. You commonly see limits of 100/300/100 which means a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $300,000, and a limit of $100,000 paid for damaged property. Occasionally you may see one number which is a combined single limit that pays claims from the same limit and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.

Liability can pay for things such as pain and suffering, medical services and loss of income. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is your choice, but you should buy as large an amount as possible.

Coverage for collisions

This coverage pays for damage to your Touareg resulting from a collision with another car or object. A deductible applies then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision insurance covers things such as damaging your car on a curb, hitting a parking meter, sustaining damage from a pot hole, backing into a parked car and scraping a guard rail. This coverage can be expensive, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are older. Drivers also have the option to choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.

Medical payments coverage and PIP

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for bills such as ambulance fees, rehabilitation expenses, hospital visits and EMT expenses. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. Coverage applies to 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 available in all states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Comprehensive coverage

This pays for damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. A deductible will apply then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive insurance covers things like hitting a deer, damage from flooding, vandalism and hail damage. The highest amount you’ll receive from a claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider dropping full coverage.
