Parts of your car insurance policy

Learning about specific coverages of car insurance can be of help when determining appropriate coverage for your vehicles. Policy terminology can be ambiguous and reading a policy is terribly boring.

Coverage for collisions

This coverage pays for damage to your Villager resulting from a collision with another car or object. You first must pay a deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision coverage pays for claims such as sustaining damage from a pot hole, hitting a parking meter, crashing into a building, backing into a parked car and rolling your car. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Another option is to choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.

Coverage for medical expenses

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage provide coverage for expenses like pain medications, surgery, doctor visits and hospital visits. They are used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance program or if you lack health insurance entirely. They cover all vehicle occupants as well as being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP is not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Coverage for uninsured or underinsured drivers

This coverage gives you protection from other motorists when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. This coverage pays for injuries to you and your family and also any damage incurred to your Mercury Villager.

Because many people only purchase the least amount of liability that is required, their limits can quickly be used up. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is very important. Normally these coverages do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Auto liability insurance

This protects you from damage or injury you incur to a person or their property in an accident. It protects YOU against claims from other people, and does not provide coverage for your own vehicle damage or injuries.

It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. As an example, you may have liability limits of 50/100/50 which stand for a $50,000 limit per person for injuries, $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) that pays claims from the same limit with no separate limits for injury or property damage.

Liability coverage pays for claims like loss of income, funeral expenses and pain and suffering. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a personal decision, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase higher limits if possible.

Comprehensive car insurance

This covers damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. A deductible will apply and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive insurance covers things such as a tree branch falling on your vehicle, a broken windshield, falling objects, rock chips in glass and vandalism. The maximum payout you’ll receive from a claim is the ACV or actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider dropping full coverage.
