Insurance coverages 101

Learning about specific coverages of a insurance policy helps when choosing the right coverages and proper limits and deductibles. Policy terminology can be difficult to understand and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Listed below are typical coverages available from insurance companies.

Coverage for collisions

This coverage will pay to fix damage to your Outlander resulting from colliding with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision coverage pays for things like hitting a parking meter, crashing into a building, rolling your car and sustaining damage from a pot hole. This coverage can be expensive, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

Comprehensive insurance coverage covers damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive coverage protects against claims like hitting a deer, damage from flooding, theft and a broken windshield. The highest amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible consider dropping full coverage.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection when other motorists either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family and also any damage incurred to your Mitsubishi Outlander.

Because many people only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked. Usually your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages are similar to your liability insurance amounts.

Insurance for medical payments

Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for immediate expenses such as X-ray expenses, doctor visits, dental work and EMT expenses. They are used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover all vehicle occupants and also covers getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Liability auto insurance

This protects you from damage or injury you incur to other people or property by causing an accident. It protects YOU from legal claims by others. Liability doesn’t cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have limits of 100/300/100 that means you have $100,000 bodily injury coverage, a total of $300,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Some companies may use a combined limit which limits claims to one amount without having the split limit caps.

Liability insurance covers things like loss of income, bail bonds and medical services. How much coverage you buy is a personal decision, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as much as you can afford.

Spend less. Save more.

More affordable insurance is available online in addition to many insurance agents, and you should be comparing both to have the best rate selection. A few companies may not have online rate quotes and most of the time these smaller companies provide coverage only through independent agencies.

We just covered quite a bit of information on how to get a better price on 2015 Mitsubishi Outlander insurance. It’s most important to understand that the more companies you get prices for, the higher the chance of saving money. You may even find the biggest savings come from a small mutual company. Some small companies may have significantly lower prices on certain market segments than their larger competitors like Allstate, Geico and Progressive.
