Parts of your insurance policy

Knowing the specifics of your policy aids in choosing appropriate coverage for your vehicles. Policy terminology can be confusing and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Below you’ll find the normal coverages available from insurance companies.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage – Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage provides protection when the “other guys” do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered claims include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Because many people have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is a good idea.

Comprehensive auto coverage – Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first have to pay a deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive insurance covers things such as rock chips in glass, falling objects and fire damage. The maximum amount a insurance company will pay at claim time is the ACV or actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider dropping full coverage.

Medical payments and PIP coverage – Med pay and PIP coverage kick in for bills such as X-ray expenses, funeral costs, pain medications and surgery. They can be utilized in addition to your health insurance plan or if you are not covered by health insurance. It covers both the driver and occupants and also covers getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is not available in all states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Liability coverage – This provides protection from damage or injury you incur to people or other property. It protects YOU against other people’s claims. It does not cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Coverage consists of three different limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. Your policy might show liability limits 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 property damage coverage for $25,000.

Liability coverage pays for things such as medical expenses, medical services, loss of income, funeral expenses and structural damage. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a personal decision, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as high a limit as you can afford.

Collision – Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your Cooper Paceman resulting from colliding with an object or car. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage pays for claims such as colliding with another moving vehicle, rolling your car, damaging your car on a curb, scraping a guard rail and sustaining damage from a pot hole. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider removing coverage from older vehicles. Another option is to raise the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Don’t be a big spender

Some insurance coverage companies may not have the ability to get a quote online and usually these smaller companies prefer to sell through independent insurance agencies. Affordable 2015 MINI Cooper Paceman insurance is definitely available on the web and from local insurance agents, and you should compare price quotes from both in order to have the best price selection to choose from.

While you’re price shopping online, it’s very important that you do not buy poor coverage just to save money. There have been many cases where someone sacrificed comprehensive coverage or liability limits and learned later they didn’t purchase enough coverage. Your objective should be to buy enough coverage for the lowest price but still have enough coverage for asset protection.
