Knowing the specifics of your policy helps when choosing the right coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. The terms used in a policy can be difficult to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring. Below you’ll find typical coverage types found on most car insurance policies.
Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP) – Med pay and PIP coverage provide coverage for immediate expenses for things like chiropractic care, dental work, funeral costs and X-ray expenses. They are often utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. Coverage applies to you and your occupants and also covers if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP coverage is only offered in select states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) – This coverage gives you protection from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. It can pay for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.
Due to the fact that many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage should not be overlooked. Usually your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.
Liability coverage – Liability insurance can cover damage that occurs to other’s property or people. It protects you against other people’s claims. Liability 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. As an example, you may have limits of 100/300/100 that means you have $100,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a limit of $300,000 in injury protection per accident, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Another option is a combined limit which provides one coverage limit and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.
Liability coverage protects against claims like medical expenses, attorney fees, loss of income and medical services. How much liability coverage do you need? That is up to you, but buy as high a limit as you can afford.
Comprehensive insurance – Comprehensive insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first must pay your deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive insurance covers things such as damage from a tornado or hurricane, theft, damage from getting keyed and damage from flooding. The highest amount your car insurance company will pay is the actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
Collision coverage – This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. A deductible applies then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.
Collision insurance covers claims like rolling your car, sustaining damage from a pot hole, hitting a mailbox, driving through your garage door and crashing into a building. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are older. Drivers also have the option to choose a higher deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

If you have a good history and live near Jackson, MS, check out Progressive. You might save some money. Left Mercury to switch. Good multi-policy discounts. Just go online and compare their rates. When should I drop full coverage?
