Insuring your fleet can be pricey, but you might be missing out on some discounts that many consumers don’t even know exist. Most are applied when you quote, but lesser-known reductions have to be specifically requested before you will receive the discount.

Understanding the coverages of insurance can help you determine the right coverages and proper limits and deductibles. The coverage terms in a policy can be difficult to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.
Medical payments and PIP coverage – Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for expenses like funeral costs, dental work and rehabilitation expenses. They can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. Medical payments and PIP cover both the driver and occupants and also covers getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP is only offered in select states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay
UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage – This provides protection from other motorists when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered losses include injuries to you and your family and also any damage incurred to your Cadillac CTS-V.
Since many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their limits can quickly be used up. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is a good idea. Frequently the UM/UIM limits do not exceed the liability coverage limits.
Comprehensive auto coverage – This coverage pays for damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first must pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive can pay for claims such as hitting a bird, vandalism and hail damage. The maximum amount you’ll receive from a claim is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
Collision – Collision coverage pays for damage to your CTS-V caused by collision with an object or car. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision coverage protects against claims like hitting a mailbox, sideswiping another vehicle, sustaining damage from a pot hole, crashing into a building and backing into a parked car. This coverage can be expensive, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are older. Drivers also have the option to increase the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.
Liability – Liability coverage provides protection from damage that occurs to other people or property in an accident. It protects YOU from claims by other people, and does not provide coverage for your own vehicle damage or injuries.
Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. As an example, you may have limits of 25/50/25 that means you have a $25,000 limit per person for injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $50,000, and property damage coverage for $25,000. Some companies may use a combined single limit or CSL which provides one coverage limit with no separate limits for injury or property damage.
Liability coverage pays for things like funeral expenses, medical services, legal defense fees, pain and suffering and medical expenses. How much coverage you buy is a decision to put some thought into, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase higher limits if possible.
People change insurance companies for any number of reasons including poor customer service, lack of trust in their agent, extreme rates for teen drivers and denial of a claim. Regardless of your reason for switching companies, finding a new company is easier than you think.
