Three reasons car insurance is important

Despite the high cost of buying insurance for a Saturn Sky in Madison, car insurance may be required and benefits you in several ways.

The benefits of insuring your car are without a doubt worth the cost, particularly when you have a large claim. But the average driver in Wisconsin overpays as much as $830 a year so it’s recommended you shop around each time the policy renews to save money.

Auto insurance coverage options for a Saturn Sky

Having a good grasp of your auto insurance policy aids in choosing which coverages you need for your vehicles. The coverage terms in a policy can be confusing and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Listed below are the usual coverages found on the average auto insurance policy.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance kick in for immediate expenses for things like funeral costs, rehabilitation expenses and ambulance fees. The coverages can be used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. They cover all vehicle occupants in addition to being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP coverage is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Liability car insurance

This coverage protects you from damage that occurs to a person or their property that is your fault. Coverage consists of three different limits, bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. As an example, you may have policy limits of 25/50/10 which means a $25,000 limit per person for injuries, $50,000 for the entire accident, and a limit of $10,000 paid for damaged property. Alternatively, you may have a combined limit which combines the three limits into one amount and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.

Liability can pay for things like legal defense fees, bail bonds, loss of income and attorney fees. How much coverage you buy is a decision to put some thought into, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase as high a limit as you can afford. Wisconsin requires minimum liability limits of 25/50/10 but you should consider buying more coverage.

The illustration below shows why minimum state limits may not be adequate.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

Your UM/UIM coverage protects you and your vehicle when the “other guys” do not carry enough liability coverage. It can pay for hospital bills for your injuries as well as damage to your Saturn Sky.

Since many Wisconsin drivers have only the minimum liability required by law (25/50/10), their limits can quickly be used up. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is important protection for you and your family. Most of the time the UM/UIM limits are similar to your liability insurance amounts.

Comprehensive auto coverage

This covers damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. A deductible will apply then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive can pay for things like falling objects, hitting a deer, damage from a tornado or hurricane and hitting a bird. The highest amount a auto insurance company will pay at claim time is the actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value it’s not worth carrying full coverage.

Collision insurance

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with another car or object. A deductible applies and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision coverage protects against claims such as damaging your car on a curb, driving through your garage door and sideswiping another vehicle. This coverage can be expensive, so consider removing coverage from vehicles that are older. Drivers also have the option to bump up the deductible on your Sky to save money on collision insurance.

Final considerations

The cheapest Saturn Sky insurance in Madison can be bought from both online companies and from local insurance agents, and you need to comparison shop both to get a complete price analysis. Some insurance companies don’t offer rate quotes online and most of the time these regional carriers provide coverage only through independent agencies.

As you go through the steps to switch your coverage, you should never skimp on critical coverages to save a buck or two. There are too many instances where an accident victim reduced liability limits or collision coverage and learned later that a couple dollars of savings turned into a financial nightmare. Your strategy should be to buy a smart amount of coverage at an affordable rate, but do not skimp to save money.
