What to Look for in an Auto Insurance Company
Understanding Auto Insurance
Auto insurance is designed to protect you and your passengers in the event of an accident. It's crucial to choose the right level of coverage to suit your needs. Consider whether damages to your property will be covered, if all passengers or just family members are included, and what happens if someone else, like your daughter, is driving your car.
This guide will help you navigate the different types of insurance policies and the questions to ask your insurer.
Types of Auto Insurance
Liability Insurance
Often the most basic option, liability insurance, also known as third-party insurance, covers damages to others if the accident is your fault. The coverage amounts are predetermined, such as $10,000 per person for bodily injury or $40,000 per accident. Confirm these limits with your insurer to ensure they're realistic for your needs.
Collision and Comprehensive Coverage
Comprehensive insurance offers more extensive protection. It covers vehicle repairs if you’re at fault, but insurers usually determine the payout based on the car's market value. For instance, if repairs cost more than the car’s market value, the insurer will pay the lower market value. Always verify who assesses your car's value?"independent organizations like the AA are advisable for an impartial evaluation.
Recreational Vehicle Insurance
Recreational vehicles require separate insurance. Don’t assume comprehensive auto insurance will cover them.
Other Insurance Types
Medical Payments (MedPay), Personal Injury Protection (PIP), and No-Fault Cover
These cover medical expenses for you and your passengers, regardless of fault. PIP is often mandatory in some states or countries, so check local requirements.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage
This protects you if the at-fault driver lacks adequate insurance. Confirm with your insurer if extra premiums are necessary in such cases.
Additional Coverage Options
Some insurers offer extras like rental reimbursement, towing, and labor as part of comprehensive coverage. These benefits cover rental costs if your car is being repaired and sometimes pay for towing services.
Legal Requirements
Most regions have mandatory insurance minimums, ranging from third-party to comprehensive coverage. It’s your responsibility to ensure your policy meets these requirements, although reputable insurers will guide you to the best options.
