Car insurance coverages for a Toyota Celica

Learning about specific coverages of auto insurance can help you determine the right coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. Auto insurance terms can be difficult to understand and coverage can change by endorsement. Shown next are the usual coverages found on the average auto insurance policy.

Collision – Collision insurance will pay to fix damage to your Celica resulting from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You first must pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision coverage protects against things such as rolling your car, crashing into a building, driving through your garage door, colliding with a tree and backing into a parked car. This coverage can be expensive, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are older. Drivers also have the option to choose a higher deductible to save money on collision insurance.

Auto liability – Liability insurance can cover damage that occurs to other people or property. This coverage protects you against other people’s claims. Liability doesn’t cover your own vehicle damage or injuries.

Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You commonly see limits of 25/50/25 which means a limit of $25,000 per injured person, a per accident bodily injury limit of $50,000, and property damage coverage for $25,000. Occasionally you may see a combined limit which provides one coverage limit and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.

Liability coverage pays for things like pain and suffering, emergency aid and funeral expenses. How much liability should you purchase? That is a personal decision, but consider buying as large an amount as possible.

Medical expense insurance – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP provide coverage for expenses for things like prosthetic devices, hospital visits and X-ray expenses. They can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover you and your occupants and will also cover getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP is not an option in every state and may carry a deductible

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers – This coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when other motorists are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered claims include injuries sustained by your vehicle’s occupants and damage to your Toyota Celica.

Due to the fact that many drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits, their limits can quickly be used up. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is very important. Normally the UM/UIM limits are similar to your liability insurance amounts.

Comprehensive (Other than Collision) – This pays for damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You need to pay your deductible first then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive coverage pays for claims such as damage from a tornado or hurricane, fire damage, a tree branch falling on your vehicle, a broken windshield and theft. The maximum payout you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.
