Deductible Amounts and Coverage Limits in Auto Insurance Policies
Essential Details You Need to Know
If you are getting car insurance for the first time, you may need to familiarize yourself with some terms. These may affect the amount of coverage you can claim from your insurance company when you meet an accident while driving.
Among these terms are car insurance deductibles and liability limits.
Understanding Car Insurance Deductibles
A car insurance deductible is an amount you pay out of pocket before your insurance coverage makes up the additional costs. If you have a lower deductible, you will have to pay less from your pocket when you meet an incident. However, this also means that you have to pay a higher insurance premium. On the other hand, if you choose a higher deductible, you’ll pay a lesser premium.
In selecting a deductible amount, make sure you can afford the amount you set because you may need to pay it in the event of a road mishap.
Here’s how it works: If you’ve selected a deductible of $500 and an accident causes damage to your car that will cost $2,000 to repair, you will have to pay the first $500 before your insurance kicks in.
Understanding Liability Limits
While deductibles apply to collision and comprehensive insurance, liability limits apply to liability coverage. This is the maximum amount that your insurance company will pay to another party if you are responsible for an accident.
With a higher liability limit, you are better covered when you meet an accident. Liability limits may differ based on coverage type and state.
You can also avail yourself of an umbrella policy that provides additional liability coverage that is beyond the limits of your car insurance policy. This mostly covers injuries, property damage, certain lawsuits, and personal liability situations.
