Auto Insurance: The Terms You Need to Know

12/23/2016

2 Comments

 
Picture
Insurers use different terms to describe their policy. But a lot of us don’t know what they really mean or understand their impact. Auto insurance policies are comprised of different coverages. We will give you an overview of the different coverage your policy may include.
​
Take, for example, “deductible”. You’ll often hear that term from agents, but do we really understand it? A deductible is a term used for the amount you agreed to pay out-of-pocket during an insurance claim. Insurers let you choose your deductible. When doing so, consider how much you’re willing to pay when making a claim. In general, the higher the deductible, the lower the premium will be, and vice versa.

Comprehensive Coverage

The comprehensive coverage pays for loss or damage to a covered vehicle due to reasons other than collision or rollover. This includes:
  • Animal collision
  • Fire
  • Flood
  • Hail
  • Theft
  • Wind
  • Vandalism

Collision Coverage

Collision coverage pays for loss or damage caused by an accident to a covered vehicle due to:
  • A vehicle rollover
  • Collision with another car
  • Collision with an object

Emergency Road Service

This type of coverage pays for the services you get when you have your vehicle towed due to mechanical failure or breakdown.

Liability Coverage

Liability coverage will pay for the damages you’re responsible for. It has two categories:
  • Bodily Injury Liability. This will cover pain and suffering, lost income, healthcare expenses, and other special damages.
  • Property Damage Liability. This covers damaged property, which may include loss of use.

In addition, your liability coverage will also help pay for legal expenses. State laws will require minimum amounts of insurance. In Georgia, you are required to have at least $25,000 bodily injury liability per person or $50,000 for multiple people in an accident. Aside from that, you are also required to have a minimum of $25,000 in coverage for property damage liability.

Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

PIP covers reasonable medical expenses for treatment due to a vehicular accident. It may also cover:
  • Funeral expenses
  • Lost earnings
  • Rehabilitation
  • Replacement services

Underinsured Motorist

Underinsured motorist coverage pays for the damages in an accident caused by an underinsured driver.

Uninsured Motorist

Uninsured motorist coverage, on the other hand, pays for the damages in an accident caused by an uninsured driver or a driver without liability insurance.

Not all of the coverage mentioned above is required though. But when it comes to insurance, it’s important to have the right amount of coverage to protect your finances.

That's a good point that you should consider looking into various car insurance policies and see what fits you and your car. My friend is thinking of purchasing a vehicle this year for his road trip plans. Hopefully, he'd consider comprehensive car insurance since it can cover him for various damages done to his future vehicle.

Thanks for the information about auto insurance. I just bought a car. I would like to have it covered under a policy as soon as possible.
