Everyone needs different coverages

When choosing the best insurance coverage coverage, there isn’t really a single plan that fits everyone. Everyone’s situation is unique so your insurance should reflect that For instance, these questions might help in determining whether you could use an agent’s help.

  • If my 2002 Lincoln Town Car is totaled, can I afford another vehicle?

The fine print in insurance ads

Companies like State Farm, Allstate and GEICO constantly bombard you with ads on TV and radio. All the ads say the same thing that you can save if you switch to their company. But how can every company make almost identical claims? It’s all in the numbers.

All companies have a certain “appetite” for the right customer that makes them money. For instance, a profitable customer might be profiled as between the ages of 40 and 55, is a homeowner, and has excellent credit. A customer getting a price quote that hits that “sweet spot” will get very good rates and as a result will probably save when they switch companies.

Consumers who fall outside these standards will have to pay higher rates and this can result in business going elsewhere. The ads state “customers that switch” but not “drivers who get quotes” save money. That is how companies can truthfully make the claims of big savings.

Because of the profiling, drivers should quote coverage with many companies. It’s impossible to know which company will give you the biggest savings on Lincoln Town Car insurance.

Coverage specifics

Knowing the specifics of your policy can be of help when determining the best coverages for your vehicles. The coverage terms in a policy can be difficult to understand and coverage can change by endorsement. These are typical coverages offered by insurance companies.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage – This coverage gives you protection when other motorists either have no liability insurance or not enough. It can pay for medical payments for you and your occupants and also any damage incurred to your Lincoln Town Car.

Since many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family. Normally these coverages do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Comprehensive auto coverage – Comprehensive insurance coverage pays for damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first must pay your deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive coverage protects against claims such as a tree branch falling on your vehicle, theft, a broken windshield and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The most a insurance company will pay at claim time is the ACV or actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Medical payments and PIP coverage – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for expenses like funeral costs, doctor visits, nursing services, chiropractic care and hospital visits. They are often used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. They cover both the driver and occupants in addition to getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP is not an option in every state and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Collision – This will pay to fix damage to your Town Car from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. 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 crashing into a building, crashing into a ditch, sustaining damage from a pot hole and backing into a parked 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.

Auto liability – This coverage can cover damages or injuries you inflict on people or other property that is your fault. This insurance protects YOU from legal claims by others. It does not cover 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. You commonly see values of 25/50/25 which stand for $25,000 bodily injury coverage, a per accident bodily injury limit of $50,000, and $25,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Another option is a combined limit which limits claims to one amount without having the split limit caps.

Liability coverage pays for things such as repair costs for stationary objects, structural damage, medical services, repair bills for other people’s vehicles and legal defense fees. How much coverage you buy is up to you, but consider buying as much as you can afford.

One last thing about your coverage

As you prepare to switch companies, you should never skimp on critical coverages to save a buck or two. Too many times, an insured cut liability limits or collision coverage only to regret that it was a big error on their part. Your strategy should be to purchase a proper amount of coverage at a price you can afford while still protecting your assets.
