Car insurance 101

Learning about specific coverages of your policy can be of help when determining the right coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. Car insurance terms can be difficult to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring.

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision – Comprehensive insurance coverage covers damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage protects against claims such as a broken windshield, damage from getting keyed, fire damage, rock chips in glass and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The maximum 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.

Coverage for liability – This coverage can cover damage that occurs to people or other property. It protects you from legal claims by others, and doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. Your policy might show policy limits of 100/300/100 which stand for a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, a total of $300,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Another option is one limit called combined single limit (CSL) that pays claims from the same limit rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability coverage protects against things such as loss of income, repair costs for stationary objects, legal defense fees and medical expenses. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is a decision to put some thought into, but you should buy as much as you can afford.

Medical costs insurance – Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance reimburse you for expenses like X-ray expenses, chiropractic care, ambulance fees, nursing services and funeral costs. They can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. It covers all vehicle occupants and will also cover getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is not an option in every state and may carry a deductible

UM/UIM Coverage – Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle from other motorists when they do not carry enough liability coverage. This coverage pays for medical payments for you and your occupants and also any damage incurred to your GMC Yukon XL.

Since a lot of drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their limits can quickly be used up. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family. Normally these coverages are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.

Collision coverages – Collision insurance pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You first must pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision coverage pays for things like crashing into a building, colliding with another moving vehicle, driving through your garage door and damaging your car on a curb. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. It’s also possible to increase the deductible to bring the cost down.
