Coverages available on your policy

Learning about specific coverages of car insurance aids in choosing appropriate coverage and proper limits and deductibles. The terms used in a policy can be difficult to understand and reading a policy is terribly boring. Below you’ll find typical coverage types offered by car insurance companies.

Insurance for medical payments

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP pay for bills for things like pain medications, EMT expenses, surgery and chiropractic care. They can be utilized in addition to your health insurance plan or if you are not covered by health insurance. It covers both the driver and occupants as well as any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is only offered in select states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

This coverage pays for damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You first have to pay a deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage protects against things such as hitting a deer, theft, fire damage, rock chips in glass and damage from getting keyed. The highest amount a car insurance company will pay at claim time is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Collision coverage protection

Collision insurance covers damage to your Q7 from colliding with another car or object. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision coverage pays for things like sustaining damage from a pot hole, crashing into a ditch, driving through your garage door, backing into a parked car and damaging your car on a curb. This coverage can be expensive, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are older. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

Auto liability

Liability coverage protects you from injuries or damage you cause to a person or their property. It protects you from legal claims by others, and does not provide coverage for damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You might see values of 25/50/25 which means $25,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a limit of $50,000 in injury protection per accident, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property. Another option is one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which limits claims to one amount without having the split limit caps.

Liability coverage protects against claims such as court costs, repair costs for stationary objects, emergency aid, medical services and funeral expenses. 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

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection from other motorists when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. It can pay for medical payments for you and your occupants and also any damage incurred to your Audi Q7.

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. So UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked. Frequently these limits are similar to your liability insurance amounts.
