But I don’t know anything about car insurance

When buying proper insurance coverage, there really is no “perfect” insurance plan. Coverage needs to be tailored to your specific needs and a cookie cutter policy won’t apply. Here are some questions about coverages that might point out whether or not you would benefit from professional advice.

  • Is my ex-spouse still covered by my policy?
  • Do I have any recourse if my insurance company denies a claim?
  • Should I sign the liability waiver when renting a car?
  • Should I buy only the required minimum liability coverage?
  • Do I need an umbrella policy?
  • Should I file a claim if it’s only slightly more than my deductible?
  • Will my insurance pay for OEM parts?
  • Does my insurance cover damage caused when ticketed for reckless driving?
  • Am I insured when driving a different vehicle?
  • Is my dog or cat covered if injured in an accident?

If you can’t answer these questions but you think they might apply to your situation, you might consider talking to a licensed agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, take a second and complete this form or you can also visit this page to select a carrier

Car insurance coverages for a 1996 Oldsmobile Bravada

Learning about specific coverages of car insurance helps when choosing the right coverages for your vehicles. Policy terminology can be impossible to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring. Listed below are the usual coverages offered by car insurance companies.

Medical costs insurance

Med pay and PIP coverage pay for expenses like dental work, doctor visits and hospital visits. They are used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. They cover both the driver and occupants and will also cover if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal Injury Protection is not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

UM/UIM Coverage

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage provides protection from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered losses include medical payments for you and your occupants and also any damage incurred to your 1996 Oldsmobile Bravada.

Since many drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. So UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.

Liability coverages

This protects you from damages or injuries you inflict on other people or property that is your fault. It protects YOU against other people’s claims, and does not provide coverage for damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

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 which stand for a $25,000 limit per person for injuries, $50,000 for the entire accident, and a total limit of $25,000 for damage to vehicles and property.

Liability can pay for things such as legal defense fees, bail bonds, medical expenses and attorney fees. How much liability coverage do you need? That is up to you, but you should buy higher limits if possible.

Comprehensive or Other Than Collision

Comprehensive insurance pays for damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. A deductible will apply then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for claims such as hitting a bird, vandalism and a tree branch falling on your vehicle. The maximum payout your car insurance company will pay is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Collision insurance

Collision coverage covers damage to your Bravada caused by collision with an object or car. You will need to pay your deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision coverage protects against claims like sideswiping another vehicle, sustaining damage from a pot hole, driving through your garage door, scraping a guard rail and rolling your car. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are older. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible to bring the cost down.
