AUTO POLICY BASICS
BODILY INJURY LIABILITY • Example… $100,000 / $300,000 (suggested minimum)
Protects against damages to persons that you are legally obligated to pay as a result of a covered automobile accident. The first dollar amount shown is the policy limit per person injured; the second is the policy limit per accident.
PROPERTY DAMAGE LIABILITY • Example… $100,000 (suggested minimum)
Protects against damages to property that you are legally obligated to pay as a result of a covered automobile accident. The dollar amount shown is the policy limit per accident.
Tip: A seven-figure umbrella policy is always worth exploring, as it provides million dollar layers of protection over and above your auto and homeowners liability limits. “Umbrella” policies start at $1,000,000 and go up from there.
UNINSURED/UNDERINSURED MOTORISTS LIABILITY • Example… $100,000 / $300,000 (suggested minimum)
This coverage protects you against bodily injury [and PD -- if in your state] caused by an uninsured [and/or underinsured] driver who is determined to be liable for the auto accident. The first dollar amount shown is the policy limit per person injured; the second is the policy limit per accident.
COMPREHENSIVE AND COLLISION • Example… $500 deductible
These two optional physical damage coverages pay for the repair or replacement of your vehicle in the event of a covered accident, subject to the deductibles selected.
POPULAR POLICY EXTRA • Rental reimbursement example… $20 per day / $900 total (suggested minimum)
Rental Reimbursement is also called “transportation expense.” It pays a specified amount per day for a rented vehicle, subject to a maximum stated dollar amount, when yours is being repaired due to a covered claim. There is no deductible.
