Understanding the coverages of a auto insurance policy can help you determine the right coverages for your vehicles. The terms used in a policy can be confusing and reading a policy is terribly boring. These are the usual coverages available from auto insurance companies.
Comprehensive insurance – This coverage pays for damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You need to pay your deductible first and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.
Comprehensive can pay for claims such as damage from flooding, falling objects, hitting a deer, hail damage and hitting a bird. The highest amount you’ll receive from a claim is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle’s value is low consider removing comprehensive coverage.
Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM) – This coverage protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when the “other guys” are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. This coverage pays for medical payments for you and your occupants and also any damage incurred to your Subaru SVX.
Since many Nevada drivers only carry the minimum required liability limits (which is 15/30/10), their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family.
Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP) – Med pay and PIP coverage kick in for short-term medical expenses for prosthetic devices, chiropractic care, rehabilitation expenses, hospital visits and ambulance fees. They are often used in conjunction with a health insurance program or if you are not covered by health insurance. Medical payments and PIP cover you and your occupants in addition to any family member struck as a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is only offered in select states but can be used in place of medical payments coverage
Auto liability – Liability coverage will cover damage that occurs to other people or property in an accident. Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: bodily injury for each person, bodily injury for the entire accident, and a limit for property damage. As an example, you may have liability limits of 25/50/25 which stand for $25,000 bodily injury coverage, a total of $50,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and a limit of $25,000 paid for damaged property.
Liability coverage protects against things like court costs, repair costs for stationary objects, structural damage, pain and suffering and legal defense fees. How much liability coverage do you need? That is your choice, but buy higher limits if possible. Nevada state minimum liability requirements are 15,000/30,000/10,000 but it’s recommended drivers buy more coverage.
Collision coverages – Collision coverage pays for damage to your SVX resulting from a collision with an object or car. A deductible applies and then insurance will cover the remainder.
Collision can pay for things like sideswiping another vehicle, crashing into a building, colliding with another moving vehicle, driving through your garage door and sustaining damage from a pot hole. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so you might think about dropping it from older vehicles. You can also increase the deductible to save money on collision insurance.
As you restructure your insurance plan, it’s very important that you do not skimp on coverage in order to save money. In many cases, drivers have reduced collision coverage only to regret that the savings was not a smart move. Your goal is to buy enough coverage at the best price.
Budget-conscious Subaru SVX insurance can be found online in addition to many Las Vegas insurance agents, and you should compare price quotes from both to have the best rate selection. Some insurance companies may not have online price quotes and usually these small insurance companies only sell through independent agencies.
