Insurance policy coverages for a Mitsubishi Outlander

Understanding the coverages of a insurance policy can help you determine the right coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. Policy terminology can be difficult to understand and coverage can change by endorsement.

Medical expense insurance

Med pay and PIP coverage reimburse you for bills for things like X-ray expenses, prosthetic devices, ambulance fees and rehabilitation expenses. They are often used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover all vehicle occupants as well as if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal injury protection coverage is only offered in select states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Liability

This can cover damage that occurs to other’s property or people that is your fault. It protects you from legal claims by others, and does not provide coverage for your injuries or vehicle damage.

Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. You commonly see liability limits of 100/300/100 which stand for a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $300,000, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Alternatively, you may have a combined limit which provides one coverage limit without having the split limit caps.

Liability coverage protects against things like repair costs for stationary objects, court costs and legal defense fees. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is your choice, but consider buying higher limits if possible.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

This protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family and also any damage incurred to your Mitsubishi Outlander.

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 is a good idea. Frequently the UM/UIM limits do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Comprehensive (Other than Collision)

This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from 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 coverage protects against things like hail damage, falling objects, a tree branch falling on your vehicle and hitting a deer. The maximum amount a insurance company will pay at claim time is the market value of your vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Collision protection

This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision insurance covers claims like colliding with a tree, rolling your car, crashing into a building and scraping a guard rail. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are 8 years or older. You can also choose a higher deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Cheaper insurance is a realistic goal

When shopping online for insurance, make sure you don’t sacrifice coverage to reduce premiums. There have been many situations where consumers will sacrifice uninsured motorist or liability limits to discover at claim time they didn’t have enough coverage. The aim is to purchase plenty of coverage for the lowest price.

Cheaper 2007 Mitsubishi Outlander insurance is definitely available from both online companies and also from your neighborhood agents, and you need to price shop both to have the best chance of lowering rates. Some insurance providers may not provide the ability to get a quote online and most of the time these small, regional companies sell through independent agents.

People who switch companies do it for any number of reasons including being labeled a high risk driver, delays in responding to claim requests, high rates after DUI convictions or not issuing a premium refund. It doesn’t matter what your reason, finding a new company can be easy and end up saving you some money.
