Learning about specific coverages of insurance helps when choosing the right coverages for your vehicles. The coverage terms in a policy can be impossible to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy.
This coverage will cover damage that occurs to other people or property that is your fault. This insurance protects YOU from legal claims by others, and doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.
Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. Your policy might show liability limits of 50/100/50 which means a $50,000 limit per person for injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and a limit of $50,000 paid for damaged property.
Liability coverage pays for things such as structural damage, pain and suffering and medical services. How much liability should you purchase? That is a personal decision, but consider buying higher limits if possible.
This 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 pays for things like vandalism, a tree branch falling on your vehicle, theft and hitting a deer. The most your insurance company will pay is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage pay for immediate expenses like X-ray expenses, funeral costs, pain medications, rehabilitation expenses and nursing services. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you are not covered by health insurance. Coverage applies to you and your occupants and also covers any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP coverage is only offered in select states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when other motorists do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered losses include hospital bills for your injuries as well as your vehicle’s damage.
Because many people only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is very important.
This will pay to fix damage to your Colorado caused by collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.
Collision can pay for claims such as crashing into a ditch, hitting a parking meter and damaging your car on a curb. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. You can also bump up the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

From a town just southwest of Newark, New Jersey. Got car insurance quotes with Progressive, Auto-Owners, and Erie for my Colorado and saved just over $80 a year. BTW speeding tickets are not good. Hardly afford to drive anymore. Liability only on my Colorado.

I live north of Lexington, KY. Quoted with American Family, Mercury, and a few others for my 2004 Chevrolet Colorado and am saving around $110 a year. Insured with Sentry before. Still almost need a second mortgage. Just liability coverage since it’s getting old.

In Oklahoma City, OK, American Family had the best rates for my 2004 Chevrolet Colorado. Thankfully I’m not a high risk driver. I recommend comparing lots of rates.

IT’S ALL TOO EXPENSIVE! I live in a small town just outside of Springfield, MO. Quoted a bunch of companies. Saved about $30 a month. State Farm was the best choice for me. Have a couple speeding tickets too. Can still barely afford it. Next renewal I’ll just do liability.

Well-written and thought out article. I’m in the east part of Knoxville, Tennessee. Quoted prices online for a 2004 Chevrolet Colorado. Ended up at about $90 savings annually. Went with State Farm. Only insure liability on my Chevrolet.

Anyone buy from Auto-Owners? I’m in Grand Rapids, MI.
Clarice Holland
Liked the article. From northwest of New York City, NY. Compared rates from a lot of places. Saved right around $20 a month. GEICO was the best choice for me. Left GEICO to switch. A clean driving record helps. I don’t put full coverage on it.
Debbra Dorsey
From northwest of Rochester, NY. I compared lots of rates. Saved roughly $30 a month. State Farm was the cheapest for me. Even increased coverage a bit.

Compared auto insurance prices with Allstate and Progressive but still not cheap enough.
