A little disclaimer on discounts, most discount credits are not given to the entire policy premium. The majority will only reduce the cost of specific coverages such as medical payments or collision. Just because you may think having all the discounts means you get insurance for free, you’re out of luck.

Knowing the specifics of insurance can be of help when determining appropriate coverage and proper limits and deductibles. The terms used in a policy can be confusing and reading a policy is terribly boring.
Med pay and PIP coverage provide coverage for immediate expenses like chiropractic care, hospital visits, ambulance fees and dental work. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you lack health insurance entirely. Coverage applies to both the driver and occupants as well as getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage
This coverage protects you and your vehicle from other drivers when they do not carry enough liability coverage. This coverage pays for medical payments for you and your occupants as well as damage to your Chevy Traverse.
Due to the fact that many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage should not be overlooked. Normally these coverages do not exceed the liability coverage limits.
This provides protection from damages or injuries you inflict on other’s property or people. This insurance protects YOU from legal claims by others, and does not provide coverage for your own vehicle damage or injuries.
Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. Your policy might show liability limits of 25/50/25 which stand for a limit of $25,000 per injured person, a per accident bodily injury limit of $50,000, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property. Alternatively, you may have one limit called combined single limit (CSL) that pays claims from the same limit without having the split limit caps.
Liability can pay for things like attorney fees, bail bonds and legal defense fees. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is up to you, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as much as you can afford.
Comprehensive insurance coverage pays for damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. A deductible will apply then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive coverage pays for claims such as vandalism, damage from a tornado or hurricane and falling objects. The highest amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider removing comprehensive coverage.
This coverage will pay to fix damage to your Traverse resulting from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You first must pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.
Collision can pay for things such as sideswiping another vehicle, hitting a parking meter, crashing into a ditch and sustaining damage from a pot hole. This coverage can be expensive, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.
You just learned a lot of tips how to save on 2018 Chevy Traverse insurance. The key concept to understand is the more quotes you get, the more likely it is that you will get a better rate. Consumers may even find the lowest premium rates are with a small mutual company.
Drivers who switch companies do it for a variety of reasons including high prices, policy non-renewal, unfair underwriting practices or denial of a claim. Whatever your reason, finding a new insurance coverage company can be easy and end up saving you some money.
As you restructure your insurance plan, it’s very important that you do not reduce coverage to reduce premium. There have been many situations where drivers have reduced uninsured motorist or liability limits and learned later that saving that couple of dollars actually costed them tens of thousands. Your strategy should be to purchase a proper amount of coverage for the lowest price while still protecting your assets.
