Car insurance coverages explained

Understanding the coverages of a car insurance policy helps when choosing appropriate coverage and proper limits and deductibles. Policy terminology can be ambiguous and coverage can change by endorsement. Listed below are typical coverage types offered by car insurance companies.

Collision – Collision coverage pays for damage to your Discovery Sport resulting from a collision with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision insurance covers things like hitting a mailbox, damaging your car on a curb and driving through your garage door. This coverage can be expensive, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Medical payments and PIP coverage – Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for immediate expenses for things like X-ray expenses, EMT expenses, pain medications, chiropractic care and prosthetic devices. The coverages can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. Coverage applies to not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and will also cover any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not available in all states and may carry a deductible

Auto liability – Liability insurance protects you from damage that occurs to other’s property or people by causing an accident. It protects YOU from claims by other people. It does not cover damage to your own property or vehicle.

It consists of three limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have values of 25/50/25 that translate to $25,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a total of $50,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property.

Liability insurance covers things like funeral expenses, pain and suffering, attorney fees and medical services. How much liability coverage do you need? That is your choice, but you should buy as large an amount as possible.

Comprehensive auto coverage – Comprehensive insurance coverage pays for damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first have to pay a deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive coverage pays for claims such as hail damage, damage from a tornado or hurricane, falling objects, hitting a deer and vandalism. The most your car insurance company will pay is the market value of your vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider removing comprehensive coverage.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage – Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when the “other guys” do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered losses include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as damage to your Land Rover Discovery Sport.

Because many people only carry the minimum required liability limits, their limits can quickly be used up. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is very important.

One last thing

In this article, we presented quite a bit of information on how to lower your 2015 Land Rover Discovery Sport insurance premium rates. The key concept to understand is the more providers you compare, the better your comparison will be. You may be surprised to find that the biggest savings come from a company that doesn’t do a lot of advertising. Smaller companies may often insure only within specific states and give getter rates compared to the large companies like State Farm, Geico and Nationwide.

While you’re price shopping online, it’s not a good idea to reduce needed coverages to save money. There are a lot of situations where consumers will sacrifice liability coverage limits only to regret that they should have had better coverage. Your strategy should be to buy a smart amount of coverage at the best cost, but do not sacrifice coverage to save money.
