  • Where can I get insurance after a DUI in my state?
  • Does my medical payments coverage pay my health insurance deductible?
  • Am I covered when renting a car or should I buy coverage from the car rental agency?

  • Rural vs Urban Areas – Living in less populated areas can save you money when it comes to car insurance. City drivers regularly have traffic congestion and much longer commute distances. Fewer people means reduced accidents.
  • More than one policy can earn a discount – Some companies will award you with lower prices to policyholders who have multiple policies with them such as combining an auto and homeowners policy. Discounts can add up to anywhere from five to ten percent in most cases. Even with this discount, it’s still a good idea to compare other company rates to ensure the best deal.

Car insurance coverage information

Having a good grasp of a insurance policy aids in choosing appropriate coverage and proper limits and deductibles. The terms used in a policy can be ambiguous and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. Below you’ll find typical coverage types available from insurance companies.

Liability car insurance

Liability insurance provides protection from damage that occurs to people or other property in an accident. It protects YOU against other people’s claims. It does not cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You commonly see limits of 50/100/50 that means you have $50,000 bodily injury coverage, a limit of $100,000 in injury protection per accident, and property damage coverage for $50,000. Some companies may use a combined single limit or CSL which provides one coverage limit and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.

Liability coverage pays for things like emergency aid, loss of income and funeral expenses. How much liability coverage do you need? That is your choice, but consider buying as much as you can afford.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance provide coverage for bills for things like ambulance fees, EMT expenses and hospital visits. They are often used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover all vehicle occupants and will also cover any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP is only offered in select states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Comprehensive auto coverage

This coverage covers damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive coverage pays for things such as hail damage, a tree branch falling on your vehicle, hitting a bird, rock chips in glass and vandalism. The highest amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Auto collision coverage

This coverage pays for damage to your Silverado 1500 Classic from colliding with another car or object. You have to pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision coverage pays for claims like backing into a parked car, crashing into a ditch, sustaining damage from a pot hole and rolling your car. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider dropping it from older vehicles. Another option is to raise the deductible to bring the cost down.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle when other motorists either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered losses include injuries to you and your family and also any damage incurred to your Chevy Silverado 1500 Classic.

Due to the fact that many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is a good idea. Most of the time your uninsured/underinsured motorist coverages do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Keep this in mind

When buying insurance coverage, make sure you don’t buy lower coverage limits just to save a few bucks. There are too many instances where an insured dropped physical damage coverage only to discover later that they should have had better coverage. The proper strategy is to purchase plenty of coverage at a price you can afford while not skimping on critical coverages.

Discount 2007 Chevy Silverado 1500 Classic insurance is attainable both online and also from your neighborhood agents, and you should compare price quotes from both in order to have the best price selection to choose from. Some insurance coverage companies may not provide the ability to get a quote online and usually these small insurance companies provide coverage only through local independent agents.
