What auto insurance coverages do you need?

Understanding the coverages of auto insurance aids in choosing the right coverages and proper limits and deductibles. Policy terminology can be ambiguous and reading a policy is terribly boring.

Collision coverages – Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your 5 Series from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage pays for claims like hitting a parking meter, hitting a mailbox, backing into a parked car and colliding with another moving vehicle. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are older. Another option is to bump up the deductible to bring the cost down.

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers – Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage protects you and your vehicle when other motorists either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family and also any damage incurred to your BMW 5 Series.

Because many people have only the minimum liability required by law, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage should not be overlooked.

Coverage for medical expenses – Med pay and PIP coverage provide coverage for immediate expenses for funeral costs, doctor visits and prosthetic devices. They can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. Coverage applies to both the driver and occupants in addition to if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP is not universally available and may carry a deductible

Comprehensive auto insurance – Comprehensive insurance pays for damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You need to pay your deductible first and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for claims such as vandalism, damage from getting keyed and a broken windshield. The highest amount a auto insurance company will pay at claim time is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Liability – Liability coverage will cover injuries or damage you cause to other’s property or people by causing an accident. This insurance protects YOU against claims from other people, and doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. As an example, you may have policy limits of 50/100/50 that means you have $50,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a total of $100,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a limit of $50,000 paid for damaged property.

Liability coverage protects against claims such as medical services, pain and suffering, emergency aid and repair bills for other people’s vehicles. How much coverage you buy is a decision to put some thought into, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as high a limit as you can afford.
