What car insurance coverages do you need?

Having a good grasp of your car insurance policy aids in choosing the right coverages and proper limits and deductibles. The coverage terms in a policy can be confusing and reading a policy is terribly boring.

Uninsured and underinsured coverage

This coverage protects you and your vehicle when other motorists are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered claims include hospital bills for your injuries as well as damage to your Land Rover Discovery.

Due to the fact that many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages should not be overlooked. Normally these coverages do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Collision protection

This covers damage to your Discovery caused by collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision can pay for claims like colliding with a tree, colliding with another moving vehicle, backing into a parked car and rolling your car. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are older. You can also bump up the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Coverage for medical payments

Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for short-term medical expenses for things like ambulance fees, chiropractic care, hospital visits and doctor visits. The coverages can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover all vehicle occupants as well as any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP is not universally available but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Auto liability insurance

Liability coverage will cover injuries or damage you cause to a person or their property in an accident. It protects you against claims from other people, and doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You might see liability limits of 100/300/100 that translate to a limit of $100,000 per injured person, $300,000 for the entire accident, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Some companies may use one number which is a combined single limit that pays claims from the same limit rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability can pay for things like repair bills for other people’s vehicles, loss of income and medical expenses. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a decision to put some thought into, but consider buying as high a limit as you can afford.

Comprehensive coverages

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

Comprehensive coverage protects against things like theft, falling objects and hail damage. The maximum payout you’ll receive from a claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.
