Insurance coverage rates and discounts

Companies that sell car insurance don’t always list the complete list of policy discounts in a way that’s easy to find, so the below list has a few of the more common and the harder-to-find credits that you can use to lower your rates.

• ABS Brakes – Cars and trucks that have anti-lock braking systems prevent accidents so you can save 10 percent or more.
• Sign Online – A few companies will provide an incentive just for signing your application over the internet.
• Discount for Life Insurance – Larger companies have a discount if you purchase some life insurance too.
• Auto/Home Discount – If you combine your home and auto policies with one insurance company you may save up to 20% and get you inexpensive car insurance.
• No Claim Discounts – Insureds with no claims or accidents can save substantially in comparison to policyholders that have many claims.

As is typical with insurance, some of the credits will not apply to the overall cost of the policy. Most only reduce specific coverage prices like comprehensive or collision. If you do the math and it seems like you could get a free insurance coverage policy, you won’t be that lucky. Any qualifying discounts will definitely reduce your overall premium however.

Insurance coverage considerations

Knowing the specifics of a insurance policy can help you determine appropriate coverage and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be ambiguous and coverage can change by endorsement.

Uninsured Motorist or Underinsured Motorist insurance

This protects you and your vehicle’s occupants when other motorists are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family and also any damage incurred to your Volkswagen Tiguan.

Since many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. So UM/UIM coverage is very important. Frequently these coverages do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Comprehensive coverage (or Other than Collision)

Comprehensive insurance covers damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. A deductible will apply then the remaining damage will be covered by your comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive coverage pays for things such as falling objects, fire damage, damage from getting keyed and a broken windshield. The maximum amount you’ll receive from a claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Collision coverage protection

Collision coverage will pay to fix damage to your Tiguan from colliding with a stationary object or other vehicle. You have to pay a deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision coverage protects against claims like crashing into a building, backing into a parked car, hitting a mailbox, hitting a parking meter and scraping a guard rail. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from lower value vehicles. You can also bump up the deductible to bring the cost down.

Insurance for medical payments

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for expenses such as ambulance fees, doctor visits and prosthetic devices. The coverages can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance program or if you are not covered by health insurance. Medical payments and PIP cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants in addition to getting struck while a pedestrian. Personal injury protection coverage is not universally available and may carry a deductible

Liability coverage

Liability insurance can cover damage or injury you incur to other people or property by causing an accident. It protects YOU against claims from other people, and doesn’t cover damage sustained by your vehicle in an accident.

Split limit liability has three limits of coverage: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You might see policy limits of 100/300/100 which means $100,000 in coverage for each person’s injuries, a per accident bodily injury limit of $300,000, and a total limit of $100,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Alternatively, you may have one number which is a combined single limit which combines the three limits into one amount and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.

Liability insurance covers things such as pain and suffering, medical services and court costs. How much coverage you buy is up to you, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase higher limits if possible.
