Knowing the specifics of your policy can be of help when determining appropriate coverage at the best deductibles and correct limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be confusing and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Below you’ll find typical coverage types found on the average auto insurance policy.
Collision insurance
Collision coverage covers damage to your Highlander caused by collision with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision insurance covers things like crashing into a ditch, hitting a mailbox, scraping a guard rail, damaging your car on a curb and rolling your car. This coverage can be expensive, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are older. Another option is to raise the deductible to save money on collision insurance.
Coverage for medical expenses
Med pay and PIP coverage provide coverage for immediate expenses like doctor visits, chiropractic care, funeral costs and ambulance fees. They are often used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. It covers you and your occupants and will also cover getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is not available in all states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers
Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other drivers when they do not carry enough liability coverage. It can pay for medical payments for you and your occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.
Due to the fact that many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. So UM/UIM coverage is very important.
Liability car insurance
Liability insurance can cover damage that occurs to other’s property or people in an accident. This coverage protects you from legal claims by others, and doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.
Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have policy limits of 50/100/50 which stand for $50,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, $100,000 for the entire accident, and property damage coverage for $50,000.
Liability coverage protects against claims such as medical services, funeral expenses and repair bills for other people’s vehicles. How much liability coverage do you need? That is up to you, but consider buying as large an amount as possible.
Comprehensive auto insurance
Comprehensive insurance pays for damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first have to pay a deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive coverage pays for claims such as a tree branch falling on your vehicle, a broken windshield, falling objects and theft. The most you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider dropping full coverage.

IT’S ALL TOO EXPENSIVE! From Worcester, Massachusetts. Quoted a bunch of companies. Saved darn near $20 a month. Progressive was the best choice for me. It’s still not cheap enough.

Well-written and thought out article. I live in a small town just outside of South Burlington, Vermont. Quoted with AIG Insurance, Encompass, and Sentry for my Highlander and saved just over $400 a year. I increased coverages a little too.

Corporate greed I’m telling you. Live in the southern part of Los Angeles, CA. Quoted a bunch of companies. Saved right around $40 a month. Progressive was the best choice for me. Insured with Safeco before. BTW speeding tickets are not good. Are quotes cheaper online?
