Are you getting all your discounts?

  • Service Members Pay Less – Being deployed with a military unit may qualify for rate reductions.

  • Employee of Federal Government – Being employed by or retired from a federal job can earn a discount up to 10% on Diamante coverage depending on your company.

  • Passive Restraint Discount – Vehicles with factory air bags and/or automatic seat belt systems can get savings of up to 25% or more.
  • Early Signing – Some insurance companies reward drivers for buying a policy before your current policy expires. This can save 10% or more.

Insurance policy coverages for a Mitsubishi Diamante

Learning about specific coverages of your policy helps when choosing which coverages you need at the best deductibles and correct limits. Policy terminology can be difficult to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring. Listed below are the usual coverages found on the average insurance policy.

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

Comprehensive insurance coverage covers damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. You need to pay your deductible first then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for things like hail damage, hitting a bird, rock chips in glass and damage from a tornado or hurricane. The maximum payout a insurance company will pay at claim time is the ACV or actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Liability auto insurance

Liability coverage can cover damage or injury you incur to a person or their property that is your fault. It protects YOU from claims by other people. Liability doesn’t cover 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. As an example, you may have policy limits of 50/100/50 that translate to a limit of $50,000 per injured person, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and a limit of $50,000 paid for damaged property.

Liability coverage protects against claims like repair costs for stationary objects, court costs, pain and suffering and loss of income. How much liability coverage do you need? That is your choice, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as large an amount as possible.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered losses include hospital bills for your injuries and also any damage incurred to your Mitsubishi Diamante.

Since many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.

Collision protection

This coverage pays for damage to your Diamante caused by collision with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision coverage protects against claims such as colliding with another moving vehicle, driving through your garage door and sustaining damage from a pot hole. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider removing coverage from older vehicles. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Insurance for medical payments

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance pay for bills such as hospital visits, nursing services and funeral costs. They can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. It covers not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants in addition to any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal Injury Protection is only offered in select states and may carry a deductible
