Auto Insurance Overview

Auto Insurance Made Easy

An auto insurance policy provides financial protection if you injure someone or his/her property in an accident. Laws in many states require that you have auto insurance to operate a motor vehicle.

Auto Insurance Basics

Collision Coverage

Covers your vehicle if you are in an accident. This coverage is intended to repair your vehicle to the condition it was in before the accident.

Comprehensive Coverage

Covers your vehicle if it is stolen or sustains damage from something other than an accident – such as a hailstorm, vandalism, or hitting an animal.

Liability Insurance

Covers a claim against you for damage that you caused by hitting someone or their property. Required in most states.

Uninsured Motorist Coverage

Protects you if someone without auto insurance hits you, covering your medical expenses and vehicle damage.

Medical Payments (Med Pay)

Covers medical, surgical and funeral expenses for you and passengers in your vehicle if you have an accident.

Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Covers expenses for you and others if you have an accident. This is the basic coverage in some states with No-Fault Automobile Insurance.

Rental Reimbursement

Covers the cost of a rental car while your vehicle is being repaired as a result of a covered loss.

Deductible

The amount you pay toward a loss under collision and comprehensive coverage. This amount is paid first, before your insurance policy provides coverage.

Understanding Limits

Limit refers to the amount of insurance you purchase and the maximum coverage that would be paid on a claim. For example, 50,000/100,000 limits of liability cover $50,000 per person and $100,000 per incident.

To Purchase a Policy

Contact an independent agent or broker to discuss the coverages that are best for you. To complete an application, you will need:

Current driving record information, including any violations or accidents
A driver’s license number for each driver in your household
List of all people in your household who are of driving age and regularly drive your vehicle
Current vehicle information, including the vehicle identification number (VIN)
If you currently have auto insurance, information about your policy limits and expiration date
Important: Provide accurate information because coverage and benefits could be affected if you have an accident.

If Your Circumstances Change

It’s important to call your agent or broker if:

You move
You buy a new vehicle
Someone moves into your household
Your child obtains a driver’s license
You get married or divorced
You begin using your vehicle for business
Failure to inform your agent about these changes can affect your coverage in the event of an accident or claim.
