Do I need special coverages?

When buying coverage, there is no “best” method to buy coverage. Your needs are not the same as everyone else’s.

For instance, these questions can aid in determining if you may require specific advice.

• Will my rates increase for filing one claim?
• Can my teen drive my company car?
• Can I make deliveries for my home business?
• Does insurance cover tools stolen from my truck?
• How many claims can I have before being cancelled?
• Is my trailer covered?
• Should I buy more coverage than the required minimum liability coverage?
• Is pleasure use cheaper than using my 1994 Lexus SC 300 to commute?
• Is my camper covered by my car insurance policy?

If you can’t answer these questions but a few of them apply, you may need to chat with a licensed agent. If you don’t have a local agent, take a second and complete this form.

Car insurance 101

Having a good grasp of your policy aids in choosing the best coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be confusing and coverage can change by endorsement.

Liability coverages

This provides protection from damages or injuries you inflict on other people or property. This coverage protects you against claims from other people, and doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.

Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. Your policy might show liability limits of 25/50/25 which means a limit of $25,000 per injured person, a per accident bodily injury limit of $50,000, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property. Another option is a combined single limit or CSL which provides one coverage limit with no separate limits for injury or property damage.

Liability can pay for claims such as repair bills for other people’s vehicles, repair costs for stationary objects, funeral expenses and attorney fees. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is your choice, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as much as you can afford.

Collision insurance

This covers damage to your SC 300 caused by collision with another car or object. You have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision insurance covers claims such as colliding with another moving vehicle, driving through your garage door, crashing into a ditch, damaging your car on a curb and hitting a mailbox. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. You can also increase the deductible to bring the cost down.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

This gives you protection from other motorists when they do not carry enough liability coverage. This coverage pays for hospital bills for your injuries and damage to your Lexus SC 300.

Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family. Usually these coverages do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Comprehensive (Other than Collision)

This will pay to fix damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive insurance covers things like a broken windshield, rock chips in glass, a tree branch falling on your vehicle and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The maximum payout a insurance company will pay at claim time is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Medical expense insurance

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance reimburse you for expenses for nursing services, dental work, hospital visits, X-ray expenses and rehabilitation expenses. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. It covers not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and also covers being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal Injury Protection is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
