• Anti-lock Brake Discount – Vehicles that have anti-lock braking systems can stop better under adverse conditions so companies give up to a 10% discount.

Insurance coverage breakdown

Learning about specific coverages of your insurance policy aids in choosing which coverages you need and the correct deductibles and limits. The terms used in a policy can be impossible to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. These are the usual coverages found on the average insurance policy.

Auto collision coverage

Collision insurance covers damage to your Odyssey caused by collision with an object or car. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage pays for claims such as damaging your car on a curb, hitting a parking meter and sustaining damage from a pot hole. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. Drivers also have the option to raise the deductible to bring the cost down.

Comprehensive insurance

Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for things such as vandalism, rock chips in glass and falling objects. The highest amount you’ll receive from a claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider dropping full coverage.

Liability insurance

Liability insurance protects you from damages or injuries you inflict on other’s property or people in an accident. It protects you against claims from other people. It does not cover damage to your own property or vehicle.

Liability coverage has three 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 that means you have $50,000 bodily injury coverage, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and $50,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Another option is a combined limit which limits claims to one amount with no separate limits for injury or property damage.

Liability coverage protects against claims such as medical services, attorney fees, funeral expenses and emergency aid. How much coverage you buy is a personal decision, but you should buy higher limits if possible.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance reimburse you for immediate expenses like funeral costs, pain medications, chiropractic care, X-ray expenses and hospital visits. The coverages can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if you are not covered by health insurance. Coverage applies to you and your occupants and will also cover if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP coverage is not universally available but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)

This provides protection when the “other guys” are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. It can pay for medical payments for you and your occupants as well as damage to your 2004 Honda Odyssey.

Since a lot of drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is important protection for you and your family. Normally these limits are identical to your policy’s liability coverage.
