The right type of car insurance policy protects car owners from repair, replacement, medical and other costs associated with car accidents. Even though car insurance policies vary from state to state, you can get a combination of insurance policies to suit your situation. The following is a list of common car insurance policies:
1. Liability Insurance
It’s best for those who just want basic coverage. It covers bodily injury liability and property damage liability. It pays for the other party’s medical bills and damage to the vehicle.
2. Collision Insurance
This policy provides additional coverage against damage caused due to collision with an object such as a tree or house.
3. Comprehensive Insurance
Comrehensive insurance covers damage caused due to factors other than an accident for instance theft or a natural disaster, vandalism to your car, etc. This type of insurance is best for those living in areas prone to natural disasters or animal strikes. Consider comprehensive insurance if your car is less than 10 years old.
4. Medical Payments Coverage
Irrespective of who caused the accident, the passengers, family members or anyone else driving your car is liable to get covered for any medical expenses. Personal injury protection limits differ from state to state but you can always purchase additional coverage as per your requirements.
5. Loan/Lease Payoff Coverage
It is also referred to as Gap. Vehicle owners who still owe a certain amount of car loan or lease a vehicle must opt for this policy coverage. It covers the upside down loan if the car is stolen and not recovered.
