Auto insurance coverages explained
Knowing the specifics of your auto insurance policy helps when choosing which coverages you need and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be impossible to understand and coverage can change by endorsement.
UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage
Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection from other drivers when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. It can pay for hospital bills for your injuries as well as damage to your Chevy Camaro.
Since many Texas drivers have only the minimum liability required by law (30/60/25), it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is important protection for you and your family.
Comprehensive auto coverage
This will pay to fix damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first have to pay a deductible and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive insurance covers claims like falling objects, vandalism and fire damage. The most your auto insurance company will pay is the actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider removing comprehensive coverage.
Medical payments and PIP coverage
Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage kick in for expenses for surgery, pain medications, prosthetic devices, X-ray expenses and EMT expenses. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. It covers all vehicle occupants in addition to being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP is not available in all states and may carry a deductible
Liability coverage
This provides protection from injuries or damage you cause to other people or property by causing an accident. This insurance protects YOU from legal claims by others. It does not cover damage to your own property or vehicle.
Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. Your policy might show policy limits of 100/300/100 that means you have $100,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, $300,000 for the entire accident, and $100,000 of coverage for damaged propery.
Liability insurance covers claims such as medical expenses, legal defense fees, emergency aid and court costs. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is your choice, but you should buy higher limits if possible. Texas requires drivers to carry at least 30,000/60,000/25,000 but you should consider buying more liability than the minimum.
Coverage for collisions
This pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You first must pay a deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.
Collision coverage pays for things like driving through your garage door, colliding with another moving vehicle and hitting a parking meter. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so consider dropping it from lower value vehicles. It’s also possible to bump up the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
You can find cheaper coverage
Consumers change insurance companies for any number of reasons including policy cancellation, extreme rates for teen drivers, poor customer service and not issuing a premium refund. No matter why you want to switch, choosing a new company is not as hard as you think.
When you , do not buy poor coverage just to save money. There are a lot of situations where someone sacrificed liability coverage limits only to discover later they didn’t have enough coverage. The goal is to get the best coverage possible for the lowest price but still have enough coverage for asset protection.
Discount Chevy Camaro insurance is definitely available from both online companies and from local agencies, so you should compare both to have the best selection. There are still a few companies who may not offer the ability to get quotes online and many times these small insurance companies provide coverage only through local independent agencies.
