When in doubt talk to an agent

When it comes to buying the right insurance coverage for your personal vehicles, there isn’t really a one size fits all plan. Every situation is different.

For example, these questions can aid in determining whether your personal situation will benefit from professional help.

• Is my nanny covered when driving my vehicle?
• Is borrowed equipment or tools covered if stolen or damaged?
• How can I get high-risk coverage after a DUI?
• How do I buy GAP insurance?
• Can I get a multi-policy discount?
• Are split liability limits better than a combined single limit?
• Do I have coverage when using my vehicle for my home business?
• Am I covered when driving in Canada or Mexico?

If you can’t answer these questions but you know they apply to you, you may need to chat with a licensed insurance agent. If you don’t have a local agent, take a second and complete this form.

Specifics of your auto insurance policy

Knowing the specifics of your policy can be of help when determining the right coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. The terms used in a policy can be difficult to understand and coverage can change by endorsement.

Uninsured and underinsured coverage

This gives you protection when the “other guys” either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. This coverage pays for medical payments for you and your occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage should not be overlooked. Frequently the UM/UIM limits do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Coverage for collisions

Collision coverage pays for damage to your RX 450h caused by collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. A deductible applies then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision can pay for things such as hitting a parking meter, colliding with another moving vehicle and scraping a guard rail. This coverage can be expensive, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are older. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Comprehensive coverages

This will pay to fix damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first have to pay a deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive coverage protects against claims like hitting a deer, a broken windshield and hail damage. The maximum payout you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Coverage for liability

This provides protection from injuries or damage you cause to a person or their property. This coverage protects you from legal claims by others. It does not cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You commonly see limits of 100/300/100 that means you have a limit of $100,000 per injured person, $300,000 for the entire accident, and $100,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Some companies may use a combined limit which limits claims to one amount without having the split limit caps.

Liability coverage pays for things like repair bills for other people’s vehicles, attorney fees and medical services. How much liability coverage do you need? That is up to you, but consider buying as large an amount as possible.

Coverage for medical payments

Med pay and PIP coverage provide coverage for bills for things like nursing services, rehabilitation expenses and doctor visits. They are utilized in addition to your health insurance program or if you lack health insurance entirely. It covers all vehicle occupants as well as if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP is not universally available and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
