Tailor your car insurance coverage to you

When buying the right insurance coverage, there isn’t really a cookie cutter policy. Your needs are not the same as everyone else’s so this has to be addressed. Here are some questions about coverages that could help you determine whether you would benefit from professional advice.

• Am I covered when using my vehicle for business?
• What discounts do I qualify for?
• Is a fancy paint job covered?
• Are split liability limits better than a combined single limit?
• Do I need to file an SR-22 for a DUI in my state?
• When should my teen driver be added to my policy?

If you’re not sure about those questions but a few of them apply, then you may want to think about talking to a licensed insurance agent. To find an agent in your area, simply complete this short form or you can go here for a list of companies in your area.

Coverage specifics

Having a good grasp of a insurance policy helps when choosing which coverages you need and proper limits and deductibles. The terms used in a policy can be impossible to understand and coverage can change by endorsement. These are the normal coverages available from insurance companies.

Uninsured or underinsured coverage

Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection from other drivers when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. This coverage pays for injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and also any damage incurred to your BMW X3.

Because many people only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. So UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.

Medical expense coverage

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance provide coverage for expenses for nursing services, EMT expenses, ambulance fees and rehabilitation expenses. They can be utilized in addition to your health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. Coverage applies to not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and also covers being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP is not an option in every state but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Auto liability insurance

This coverage provides protection from damage that occurs to people or other property by causing an accident. It protects you against claims from other people. Liability doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. As an example, you may have values of 25/50/25 that translate to a limit of $25,000 per injured person, a per accident bodily injury limit of $50,000, and $25,000 of coverage for damaged propery.

Liability coverage pays for claims like court costs, structural damage and pain and suffering. How much coverage you buy is a decision to put some thought into, but buy as much as you can afford.

Comprehensive protection

Comprehensive insurance coverage pays for damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive insurance covers claims like hitting a bird, theft and a tree branch falling on your vehicle. The highest amount your insurance company will pay is the cash value of the vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Collision coverage

This will pay to fix damage to your X3 from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision can pay for things such as scraping a guard rail, crashing into a building and sustaining damage from a pot hole. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. Another option is to increase the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.
