Tailor your coverage to you

  • Do I need special endorsements for business use of my vehicle?
  • If my 2009 Mitsubishi Raider is totaled, can I afford another vehicle?

  • How do I file an SR-22 for a DUI in my state?
  • Is upholstery damage covered by car insurance?
  • Is pleasure use cheaper than using my 2009 Mitsubishi Raider to commute?
  • Why am I be forced to buy a membership to get insurance from some companies?
  • Why is insurance for a teen driver so high?
  • Is my ex-spouse still covered by my policy?

Auto insurance coverages 101

Learning about specific coverages of auto insurance can be of help when determining the best coverages for your vehicles. The coverage terms in a policy can be ambiguous and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Below you’ll find the usual coverages offered by auto insurance companies.

Insurance for medical payments

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage reimburse you for expenses for things like EMT expenses, surgery and dental work. The coverages can be utilized in addition to your health insurance program or if there is no health insurance coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover all vehicle occupants in addition to being hit by a car walking across the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not an option in every state but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. A deductible will apply then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage protects against claims like damage from getting keyed, damage from flooding, theft, falling objects and hitting a bird. The most your auto insurance company will pay is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Liability auto insurance

This will cover injuries or damage you cause to people or other property that is your fault. This insurance protects YOU against other people’s claims. It does not 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 which means $100,000 bodily injury coverage, a total of $300,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property.

Liability coverage pays for claims such as medical expenses, funeral expenses and court costs. How much coverage you buy is up to you, but buy as much as you can afford.

Collision insurance

Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. A deductible applies then your collision coverage will kick in.

Collision coverage pays for claims like crashing into a building, scraping a guard rail, colliding with a tree, sustaining damage from a pot hole and colliding with another moving vehicle. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. Another option is to increase the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

This protects you and your vehicle’s occupants from other motorists when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered losses include medical payments for you and your occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. So UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.

Money doesn’t grow on trees

We just showed you a lot of techniques to lower your 2009 Mitsubishi Raider insurance rates. The key concept to understand is the more you quote, the better likelihood of reducing your rate. You may even find the lowest premiums are with a small local company. Some small companies can often insure niche markets at a lower cost than their larger competitors like Allstate and Progressive.

Low-cost insurance can be purchased online and with local insurance agents, so compare prices from both in order to have the best chance of saving money. Some companies do not offer online quoting and these small insurance companies work with independent agents.
