Car insurance coverage options for a 2016 Toyota Prius

Learning about specific coverages of car insurance aids in choosing appropriate coverage at the best deductibles and correct limits. The terms used in a policy can be confusing and reading a policy is terribly boring. Shown next are the normal coverages offered by car insurance companies.

Medical payments coverage and PIP

Med pay and PIP coverage provide coverage for short-term medical expenses like funeral costs, doctor visits and rehabilitation expenses. The coverages can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. It covers both the driver and occupants and will also cover any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Comprehensive coverage

Comprehensive insurance coverage covers damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You first have to pay a deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive can pay for things such as falling objects, fire damage, theft, hitting a bird and damage from getting keyed. The maximum amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Liability auto insurance

This protects you from injuries or damage you cause to other people or property that is your fault. It protects you from claims by other people. It does not cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

Coverage consists of three different limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You might see values of 50/100/50 that translate to a $50,000 limit per person for injuries, $100,000 for the entire accident, and a total limit of $50,000 for damage to vehicles and property.

Liability coverage protects against claims like structural damage, court costs, bail bonds, pain and suffering and loss of income. How much liability should you purchase? That is a decision to put some thought into, but consider buying higher limits if possible.

Collision insurance

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. A deductible applies and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision can pay for claims like hitting a parking meter, scraping a guard rail, colliding with another moving vehicle and backing into a parked car. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. Another option is to increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage

Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle from other drivers when they do not carry enough liability coverage. It can pay for hospital bills for your injuries as well as damage to your Toyota Prius.

Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is very important.
