Understanding Auto Insurance
Congratulations on getting your dream car! Before you embark on thrilling drives, it's essential to insure your vehicle. But what exactly is auto insurance?
Auto insurance is a protective policy you can purchase for your car, truck, or other vehicles. It offers financial security against losses incurred due to accidents, theft, or damage. The coverage you choose can protect you from repair costs, replacement costs if your vehicle is stolen or irreparably damaged, and legal liabilities if you cause harm to a third party.
One thing to note is that comprehensive insurance doesn't fully cover the initial risk of buying a new car. The vehicle's value drops sharply after purchase, meaning the remaining car payments might exceed insurance compensation if it's destroyed. To address this, GAP insurance was introduced in the early 1980s, offering protection against this difference. It became necessary due to the rising cost of cars, longer auto loan terms, and the popularity of leasing.
Liability insurance covers claims against the policyholder and generally extends to other drivers of the insured vehicle, provided they don't live at the same address and aren't excluded from the policy. If they do live with the policyholder, they must be included in the policy. Typically, liability insurance doesn't cover the policyholder when driving vehicles they don't own, unless they are covered by the owner's policy.
When you rent a car, liability coverage often extends to it. However, comprehensive or full coverage may not apply since insurers hesitate to cover claims exceeding the value of the insured's vehicle. Some states do extend this coverage to rental cars, and rental companies usually offer their own insurance for damages. In certain areas, coverage includes the "Loss of Use," or the costs associated with not having the vehicle.
Now that you've grasped the basics of auto insurance, it's the perfect time to get your vehicle covered!
