Specific coverage details

Understanding the coverages of a auto insurance policy can help you determine appropriate coverage and proper limits and deductibles. The coverage terms in a policy can be difficult to understand and coverage can change by endorsement. These are typical coverages found on most auto insurance policies.

Liability insurance

This coverage will cover injuries or damage you cause to a person or their property that is your fault. It consists of three limits, per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. Your policy might show policy limits of 15/30/5 that means you have a limit of $15,000 per injured person, a total of $30,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and property damage coverage for $5,000.

Liability insurance covers claims like legal defense fees, funeral expenses, repair costs for stationary objects and structural damage. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is up to you, but it's cheap coverage so purchase as high a limit as you can afford. California requires drivers to carry at least 15/30/5 but drivers should carry more liability than the minimum.

The next chart shows why the minimum limit may not be high enough to cover claims.

Comprehensive (Other than Collision)

This will pay to fix damage from a wide range of events other than collision. You need to pay your deductible first and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive can pay for things such as hitting a deer, rock chips in glass, damage from flooding, damage from getting keyed and vandalism. The maximum payout your auto insurance company will pay is the market value of your vehicle, so if it's not worth much more than your deductible consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Medical expense insurance

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance reimburse you for expenses like dental work, rehabilitation expenses, nursing services, hospital visits and surgery. They can be utilized in addition to your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. They cover you and your occupants and also covers if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not an option in every state and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Coverage for collisions

Collision coverage covers damage to your B9 Tribeca resulting from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You first must pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision coverage pays for things like backing into a parked car, hitting a parking meter, sideswiping another vehicle and colliding with a tree. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so you might think about dropping it from older vehicles. Another option is to increase the deductible on your B9 Tribeca to bring the cost down.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle from other motorists when they do not carry enough liability coverage. Covered losses include injuries to you and your family as well as damage to your Subaru B9 Tribeca.

Since many California drivers carry very low liability coverage limits (which is 15/30/5), their limits can quickly be used up. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is a good idea.

Affordable auto insurance rates are out there

When trying to cut insurance costs, don't be tempted to buy poor coverage just to save money. In many cases, someone sacrificed uninsured motorist or liability limits and learned later that it was a big mistake. Your aim should be to buy a smart amount of coverage at the lowest possible cost but still have enough coverage for asset protection.

You just read many ways to shop for Subaru B9 Tribeca insurance online. The key thing to remember is the more quotes you get, the better your comparison will be. You may even find the best price on auto insurance is with a lesser-known regional company. Regional companies can often insure niche markets at a lower cost as compared to the big name companies such as Progressive or GEICO.
