You may need specialized coverage

For instance, these questions may help you determine if you could use an agent’s help.

• How much can I save by bundling my policies?
• Is there coverage for injuries to my pets?
• Do I need higher collision deductibles?
• What if I owe more than I can insure my car for?
• Why am I required to buy high-risk coverage?
• Do I need replacement cost coverage?
• Is business property covered if stolen from my car?
• Do I have coverage when pulling a U-Haul trailer?

If it’s difficult to answer those questions, then you may want to think about talking to an insurance agent. If you want to speak to an agent in your area, complete this form.

What car insurance coverages do you need?

Understanding the coverages of your policy can help you determine which coverages you need and proper limits and deductibles. The terms used in a policy can be confusing and even agents have difficulty translating policy wording.

Collision – This coverage will pay to fix damage to your X5 resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. A deductible applies and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision coverage protects against things like crashing into a building, sustaining damage from a pot hole, colliding with another moving vehicle, colliding with a tree and damaging your car on a curb. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to increase the deductible to bring the cost down.

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage – Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection 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 X5.

Since a lot of drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is very important.

Auto liability insurance – Liability insurance provides protection from damages or injuries you inflict on other people or property. It protects you against claims from other people. It does not cover your injuries or vehicle damage.

Liability coverage has 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 translate to $50,000 bodily injury coverage, a limit of $100,000 in injury protection per accident, and property damage coverage for $50,000.

Liability coverage pays for things such as medical expenses, emergency aid, bail bonds, legal defense fees and pain and suffering. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is your choice, but consider buying as much as you can afford.

Medical payments coverage and PIP – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for expenses for things like hospital visits, prosthetic devices and nursing services. 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 you and your occupants as well as getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not an option in every state and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Comprehensive coverage – Comprehensive insurance pays for damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive insurance covers things such as a broken windshield, falling objects, damage from getting keyed and a tree branch falling on your vehicle. The highest amount you’ll receive from a claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
