Having a good grasp of your car insurance policy can be of help when determining appropriate coverage and proper limits and deductibles. Car insurance terms can be impossible to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Listed below are typical coverages offered by car insurance companies.
Auto liability insurance
Liability insurance protects you from injuries or damage you cause to a person or their property that is your fault. It protects you from claims by other people, and does not provide coverage for damage to your own property or vehicle.
Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. As an example, you may have policy limits of 25/50/25 that translate to a limit of $25,000 per injured person, a limit of $50,000 in injury protection per accident, and $25,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Some companies may use one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which limits claims to one amount without having the split limit caps.
Liability insurance covers claims such as emergency aid, structural damage, bail bonds and funeral expenses. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a decision to put some thought into, but consider buying as high a limit as you can afford.
Comprehensive protection
Comprehensive insurance covers damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive coverage pays for things such as hitting a deer, hitting a bird, damage from getting keyed and falling objects. The highest amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.
Uninsured or underinsured coverage
Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection from other motorists when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. It can pay for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and damage to your Toyota Paseo.
Because many people only carry the minimum required liability limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is very important. Most of the time the UM/UIM limits are set the same as your liablity limits.
Medical expense coverage
Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance kick in for bills for things like ambulance fees, rehabilitation expenses, hospital visits and pain medications. They can be utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. They cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and also covers if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP coverage is not available in all states and may carry a deductible
Collision protection
Collision insurance covers damage to your Paseo resulting from a collision with an object or car. You have to pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.
Collision insurance covers things such as colliding with another moving vehicle, damaging your car on a curb, colliding with a tree and hitting a mailbox. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from older vehicles. You can also increase the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.
