Learning about specific coverages of your policy aids in choosing the best coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be confusing and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. Listed below are typical coverage types available from insurance companies.
Liability – This coverage can cover damage or injury you incur to other’s property or people. It protects you against claims from other people. Liability doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.
Liability coverage has three limits: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have liability limits of 50/100/50 that means you have $50,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a limit of $100,000 in injury protection per accident, and $50,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Some companies may use a combined single limit or CSL that pays claims from the same limit and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.
Liability insurance covers claims such as funeral expenses, attorney fees, bail bonds, medical expenses and legal defense fees. How much coverage you buy is a personal decision, but you should buy as much as you can afford.
Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance – Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage provides protection when other motorists do not carry enough liability coverage. This coverage pays for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.
Because many people have only the minimum liability required by law, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is a good idea. Most of the time these limits are set the same as your liablity limits.
Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision) – Comprehensive insurance coverage covers damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.
Comprehensive coverage protects against things such as a tree branch falling on your vehicle, damage from flooding, a broken windshield and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The maximum amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
Collision coverages – This pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You will need to pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision coverage protects against things like backing into a parked car, crashing into a ditch and damaging your car on a curb. This coverage can be expensive, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. Drivers also have the option to choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.
Insurance for medical payments – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP pay for immediate expenses such as prosthetic devices, nursing services and surgery. They can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. It covers both the driver and 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

If you have a good history and are close to New York City, New York, check out GEICO. You might get cheaper rates. Left Allstate to switch. I get lower rates because of my clean driving record. Liability only on my J30.

Not sure if this is cheap. Lifelong resident of Missoula, MT. I got free prices from 21st Century, American Family, and Esurance for my J30 and I’m now saving $22 a month. Full coverage costs too much.
