Larger premium reductions will be automatically applied at the time of purchase, but lesser-known reductions have to be asked for before you will receive the discount. If they aren’t giving you every credit possible, you’re paying more than you need to.
Drivers should understand that some of the credits will not apply to your bottom line cost. Some only apply to specific coverage prices like physical damage coverage or medical payments. So when the math indicates you could get a free insurance coverage policy, you’re out of luck. But all discounts will help reduce your overall premium however.

Knowing the specifics of your auto insurance policy helps when choosing appropriate coverage and the correct deductibles and limits. Auto insurance terms can be confusing and coverage can change by endorsement.
Collision insurance
Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your Sienna resulting from a collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible then your collision coverage will kick in.
Collision coverage protects against claims like rolling your car, scraping a guard rail, crashing into a building, crashing into a ditch and hitting a mailbox. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so you might think about dropping it from vehicles that are 8 years or older. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.
Medical expense coverage
Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance kick in for short-term medical expenses such as hospital visits, rehabilitation expenses, prosthetic devices, chiropractic care and surgery. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. It covers you and your occupants as well as any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not available in all states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
Liability insurance
This coverage protects you from damage or injury you incur to people or other property by causing an accident. This coverage protects you from claims by other people, and does not provide coverage for 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. You commonly see values of 100/300/100 that means you have a $100,000 limit per person for injuries, $300,000 for the entire accident, and $100,000 of coverage for damaged propery. Occasionally you may see one limit called combined single limit (CSL) that pays claims from the same limit rather than limiting it on a per person basis.
Liability can pay for claims like legal defense fees, court costs, repair costs for stationary objects and attorney fees. How much liability should you purchase? That is up to you, but consider buying higher limits if possible.
Comprehensive protection
This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay.
Comprehensive can pay for claims like rock chips in glass, fire damage and a broken windshield. The highest amount a auto insurance company will pay at claim time is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.
Uninsured or underinsured coverage
Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage provides protection from other motorists when they are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered claims include medical payments for you and your occupants and damage to your Toyota Sienna.
Since a lot of drivers carry very low liability coverage limits, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family. Usually these limits are similar to your liability insurance amounts.
