Understanding the coverages of insurance can be of help when determining the right coverages for your vehicles. Policy terminology can be confusing and nobody wants to actually read their policy.
Medical expense insurance – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for short-term medical expenses for things like funeral costs, doctor visits, pain medications, hospital visits and dental work. The coverages can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and will also cover getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP is not available in all states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
Collision coverages – Collision coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision coverage protects against things such as crashing into a ditch, colliding with a tree and scraping a guard rail. This coverage can be expensive, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from lower value vehicles. Drivers also have the option to increase the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.
Auto liability insurance – This protects you from injuries or damage you cause to other’s property or people by causing an accident. It protects YOU from claims by other people. Liability doesn’t cover 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. Your policy might show liability limits of 50/100/50 which means a limit of $50,000 per injured person, $100,000 for the entire accident, and a total limit of $50,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Some companies may use one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which combines the three limits into one amount rather than limiting it on a per person basis.
Liability coverage protects against claims such as loss of income, legal defense fees and repair costs for stationary objects. How much liability coverage do you need? That is up to you, but you should buy as large an amount as possible.
Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers – This protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when the “other guys” are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered claims include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and damage to your Ford Bronco.
Since a lot of drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages should not be overlooked. Frequently the UM/UIM limits are similar to your liability insurance amounts.
Comprehensive (Other than Collision) – Comprehensive insurance coverage covers damage that is not covered by collision coverage. A deductible will apply then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive coverage protects against claims such as theft, hitting a bird, damage from flooding, falling objects and a broken windshield. The most a insurance company will pay at claim time is the market value of your vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
We’ve covered a lot of techniques to lower your 1991 Ford Bronco insurance rates. The most important thing to understand is the more rate comparisons you have, the better chance you’ll have of finding lower rates. You may even discover the lowest priced insurance comes from the smaller companies.
As you go through the steps to switch your coverage, it’s very important that you do not reduce needed coverages to save money. There are many occasions where someone dropped full coverage to discover at claim time that the savings was not a smart move. Your goal should be to buy a smart amount of coverage for the lowest price, not the least amount of coverage.
Insureds leave their current company for any number of reasons including extreme rates for teen drivers, questionable increases in premium, lack of trust in their agent and even an unsatisfactory settlement offer. Regardless of your reason, choosing a new insurance company can be easier than you think.
