Coverage specifics

Learning about specific coverages of your insurance policy aids in choosing appropriate coverage at the best deductibles and correct limits. The coverage terms in a policy can be impossible to understand and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording. Shown next are the usual coverages found on most insurance policies.

Collision insurance

This pays for damage to your A3 resulting from a collision with another car or object. You have to pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage pays for claims such as hitting a parking meter, colliding with another moving vehicle, backing into a parked car and sustaining damage from a pot hole. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are older. Another option is to raise the deductible to bring the cost down.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for expenses such as X-ray expenses, EMT expenses, ambulance fees and hospital visits. The coverages can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. It covers you and your occupants in addition to getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP is not an option in every state but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Comprehensive auto coverage

This will pay to fix damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first must pay your deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive coverage pays for things such as damage from flooding, hail damage, hitting a deer and damage from getting keyed. The highest amount your insurance company will pay is the ACV or actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider removing comprehensive coverage.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

This gives you protection from other drivers when they 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 Audi A3.

Due to the fact that many drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. So UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.

Auto liability

This can cover damage or injury you incur to people or other property that is your fault. This insurance protects YOU against other people’s claims. Liability doesn’t 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 might see liability limits of 100/300/100 that translate to a limit of $100,000 per injured person, a per accident bodily injury limit of $300,000, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property.

Liability can pay for claims like loss of income, repair costs for stationary objects and medical services. How much coverage you buy is up to you, but buy as large an amount as possible.
