It’s important to note that some credits don’t apply to all coverage premiums. Some only reduce specific coverage prices like medical payments or collision. Just because it seems like having all the discounts means you get insurance for free, insurance coverage companies aren’t that generous.

Liability insurance provides protection from damage that occurs to other’s property or people that is your fault. Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You commonly see values 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.
Liability coverage protects against things like medical expenses, repair bills for other people’s vehicles, medical services, repair costs for stationary objects and emergency aid. How much liability coverage do you need? That is your choice, but you should buy as much as you can afford.
Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for short-term medical expenses for doctor visits, surgery, rehabilitation expenses and EMT expenses. They are used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you are not covered by health insurance. Medical payments and PIP cover all vehicle occupants in addition to any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is not available in all states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
This pays for damage to your Shelby GT500 resulting from a collision with an object or car. A deductible applies then your collision coverage will kick in.
Collision coverage protects against claims like colliding with a tree, crashing into a ditch, rolling your car and hitting a mailbox. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are older. It’s also possible to raise the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.
Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle when the “other guys” do not carry enough liability coverage. This coverage pays for injuries to you and your family as well as damage to your Ford Shelby GT500.
Because many people only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.
This will pay to fix damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive coverage protects against claims like rock chips in glass, a broken windshield and damage from getting keyed. The maximum payout a car insurance company will pay at claim time is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.
When you buy insurance online, it’s very important that you do not skimp on critical coverages to save a buck or two. Too many times, an accident victim reduced physical damage coverage only to regret that it was a big error on their part. Your aim should be to buy a smart amount of coverage for the lowest cost, but do not skimp to save money.
