Specifics of your insurance policy

Understanding the coverages of your insurance policy can be of help when determining the best coverages at the best deductibles and correct limits. The terms used in a policy can be difficult to understand and coverage can change by endorsement.

Collision coverage protection

This coverage will pay to fix damage to your Spectra caused by collision with an object or car. You have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision can pay for things like rolling your car, crashing into a building, crashing into a ditch, sustaining damage from a pot hole and driving through your garage door. This coverage can be expensive, so consider removing coverage from lower value vehicles. You can also choose a higher deductible on your Spectra to get cheaper collision coverage.

Liability car insurance

Liability insurance provides protection from damage or injury you incur to a person or their property in an accident. Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. Your policy might show limits of 15/30/10 that means you have a limit of $15,000 per injured person, $30,000 for the entire accident, and a limit of $10,000 paid for damaged property. Alternatively, you may have a combined single limit or CSL which provides one coverage limit rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability coverage pays for claims like funeral expenses, emergency aid and structural damage. How much liability coverage do you need? That is a personal decision, but you should buy as large an amount as possible. Arizona state minimum liability requirements are 15/30/10 but you should consider buying more coverage.

The next chart shows why buying minimum limits may not provide you with enough coverage.

Med pay and Personal Injury Protection (PIP)

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance provide coverage for bills such as doctor visits, prosthetic devices and nursing services. They can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if there is no health insurance coverage. They cover both the driver and occupants in addition to if you are hit as a while walking down the street. PIP is not an option in every state but can be used in place of medical payments coverage

Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist (UM/UIM)

Your UM/UIM coverage gives you protection from other drivers when they do not carry enough liability coverage. It can pay for hospital bills for your injuries and damage to your Kia Spectra.

Since many Arizona drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required (which is 15/30/10), it doesn’t take a major accident to exceed their coverage limits. So UM/UIM coverage is important protection for you and your family. Most of the time the UM/UIM limits are set the same as your liability limits.

Comprehensive insurance

This coverage covers damage that is not covered by collision coverage. A deductible will apply and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for things such as a tree branch falling on your vehicle, vandalism and theft. The maximum amount you’ll receive from a claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Smart shoppers get results

People switch companies for any number of reasons including an unsatisfactory settlement offer, poor customer service, extreme rates for teen drivers and delays in paying claims. No matter why you want to switch, finding the right car insurance provider is not as hard as you think.

When buying insurance coverage, it’s a bad idea to reduce needed coverages to save money. In many instances, an accident victim reduced liability limits or collision coverage only to discover later that the small savings ended up costing them much more. Your objective should be to find the BEST coverage for the lowest price, not the least amount of coverage.

You just read quite a bit of information on how to shop for Kia Spectra insurance online. It’s most important to understand that the more price quotes you have, the better likelihood of getting inexpensive Scottsdale auto insurance quotes.
