Don’t pay full price with these discounts

Companies that sell car insurance do not advertise all their discounts in a way that’s easy to find, so we took the time to find both the well known and the harder-to-find savings tricks you should be using. If you aren’t receiving every discount possible, you’re just leaving money on the table.

Before buying, ask every prospective company how you can save money. Savings might not apply in your state.

Car insurance coverages for a 2005 Volkswagen Golf

Understanding the coverages of a insurance policy can help you determine the best coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. Insurance terms can be impossible to understand and coverage can change by endorsement. Listed below are the normal coverages offered by insurance companies.

Medical payments and PIP coverage – Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for immediate expenses such as nursing services, doctor visits and surgery. The coverages can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if you do not have health coverage. It covers not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants in addition to getting struck while a pedestrian. PIP coverage is not universally available but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Auto liability – This coverage provides protection from damages or injuries you inflict on other’s property or people that is your fault. This coverage protects you against claims from other people. It does not cover damage to your own property or vehicle.

Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. You might see values of 25/50/25 that translate to $25,000 bodily injury coverage, a limit of $50,000 in injury protection per accident, and $25,000 of coverage for damaged property.

Liability can pay for things such as structural damage, medical services and repair bills for other people’s vehicles. How much liability should you purchase? That is a decision to put some thought into, but buy as much as you can afford.

Collision – Collision insurance will pay to fix damage to your Golf caused by collision with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision can pay for claims such as scraping a guard rail, rolling your car, hitting a parking meter, damaging your car on a curb and colliding with a tree. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from lower value vehicles. It’s also possible to bump up the deductible in order to get cheaper collision rates.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage – This protects you and your vehicle from other drivers when they either have no liability insurance or not enough. Covered claims include hospital bills for your injuries and also any damage incurred to your 2005 Volkswagen Golf.

Since many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is very important.

Comprehensive auto coverage – Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage from a wide range of events other than collision. A deductible will apply and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive can pay for things such as hitting a deer, hail damage, fire damage and a broken windshield. The most your insurance company will pay is the actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider dropping full coverage.
