Understanding the coverages of auto insurance can be of help when determining the best coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. The terms used in a policy can be ambiguous and coverage can change by endorsement.
Uninsured or underinsured coverage – This coverage protects you and your vehicle when the “other guys” either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family as well as your vehicle’s damage.
Since 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 is very important.
Auto liability – This can cover damage or injury you incur to people or other property by causing an accident. This insurance protects YOU against other people’s claims. It does not cover your injuries or vehicle damage.
It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have limits of 25/50/25 that translate to $25,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a total of $50,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property.
Liability insurance covers things like emergency aid, legal defense fees, attorney fees, structural damage and court costs. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a decision to put some thought into, but consider buying as large an amount as possible.
Collision – This covers damage to your S-10 Blazer caused by collision with an object or car. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.
Collision can pay for claims like sustaining damage from a pot hole, driving through your garage door, damaging your car on a curb, hitting a parking meter and hitting a mailbox. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider removing coverage from older vehicles. It’s also possible to bump up the deductible to bring the cost down.
Comprehensive protection – Comprehensive insurance coverage pays for damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first must pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive can pay for claims like falling objects, hail damage, rock chips in glass and a broken windshield. The maximum amount your auto insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
Medical expense coverage – Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage pay for expenses like dental work, hospital visits and prosthetic devices. They are often utilized in addition to your health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. They cover all vehicle occupants in addition to if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not an option in every state and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Just my two cents. Got a quote with USAA for my Chevrolet and saved about $90 a year.
Kacey Blanchard
I live south of Rutland, Vermont. Quoted prices online for a 1995 Chevrolet S-10 Blazer. Ended up at about $100 savings annually. Went with Allstate. LOL It’s only liability tho.
Donnell Nicholson
Lifelong resident of Grand Forks, ND and for me 21st Century had the lowest quote. I get multi-vehicle and multi-policy discounts. Not sure about claim service.
Kendall Ward
I switched to State Farm. Quoted good rates in Aurora, CO. Was with Hanover. Anyone else drop full coverage?
Margarito Chambers
Thanks for putting this site together. I live in a small town just outside of Birmingham, AL. Quoted rates from Progressive, Auto-Owners, and Esurance for my Chevrolet and saved $108 a year. Thankfully I’m not a high risk driver. I dropped full coverage awhile back.
Luis Wise
Lifelong resident of Louisville, Kentucky. Got car insurance prices from American Family, MetLife, and some smaller one I can’t remember the name of for my S-10 Blazer and saved about $90 a year. Even increased coverage a bit. LOL Full coverage costs too much.
Tona Dodson
Checking in from Phoenix, AZ. Received quotes from Safeco, Esurance, State Farm, and Amica for my 1995 Chevrolet S-10 Blazer and I think I saved about $20 each month. It’s too old for full coverage.
Kyung Morris
Hope my rates come down. I live just to the east of South Burlington, VT. Compared quite a few companies. Saved right around $30 a month. State Farm was the best choice for me. Left Auto-Owners to switch. I have a couple other vehicles on the policy. Just waiting to see how claims go.
Tangela Roy
Anyone buy from American Family? I’m in Charlotte, NC.
Toby Terry
I live just to the south of Charlotte, NC. Compared rates from a lot of places. Saved darn near $20 a month. Allstate was the cheapest option for me. Was with Eastwood. Got better coverage too. I only have liability coverage on it.
Kent Hines
Lots of good stuff here. I’m from Kailua, Hawaii. Quoted rates from GEICO, Amica, Encompass, and Hartford for my S-10 Blazer and I’m now saving $21 a month. Was with Western Auto Insurance. You can get a rate quote online. Book value doesn’t justify full coverage anymore.
