Having a good grasp of your auto insurance policy can help you determine the best coverages and the correct deductibles and limits. The terms used in a policy can be confusing and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Below you’ll find typical coverage types found on most auto insurance policies.
Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers – This coverage gives you protection from other drivers when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. This coverage pays for hospital bills for your injuries as well as your vehicle’s damage.
Because many people only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage should not be overlooked.
Liability auto insurance – Liability coverage will cover damages or injuries you inflict on a person or their property that is your fault. Coverage consists of three different limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You commonly see policy limits of 25/50/25 that translate to a limit of $25,000 per injured person, a total of $50,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property.
Liability coverage protects against things such as funeral expenses, legal defense fees, medical expenses, loss of income and bail bonds. How much coverage you buy is up to you, but consider buying as large an amount as possible.
Medical expense insurance – Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance provide coverage for short-term medical expenses for things like rehabilitation expenses, chiropractic care, funeral costs and X-ray expenses. The coverages can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover you and your occupants as well as any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP is not available in all states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
Collision coverages – This pays for damage to your Century caused by collision with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision insurance covers things like hitting a mailbox, colliding with a tree, colliding with another moving vehicle and crashing into a building. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from lower value vehicles. You can also bump up the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
Comprehensive (Other than Collision) – This covers damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive coverage protects against claims such as damage from flooding, theft and a broken windshield. The maximum payout you’ll receive from a claim is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
We’ve covered many ways to reduce 1991 Buick Century insurance prices online. The key concept to understand is the more providers you compare, the more likely it is that you will get a better rate. Consumers may even find the best prices are with some of the smallest insurance companies. These smaller insurers may often insure only within specific states and give getter rates than the large multi-state companies such as State Farm and Allstate.
Budget-conscious insurance is possible from both online companies and with local insurance agents, so you should be comparing quotes from both to get a complete price analysis. Some insurance providers do not offer online price quotes and usually these regional insurance providers provide coverage only through local independent agents.
As you restructure your insurance plan, do not reduce coverage to reduce premium. There are a lot of situations where drivers have reduced collision coverage only to find out that the small savings ended up costing them much more. The ultimate goal is to buy the best coverage you can find at a price you can afford.
