Auto Insurance

Coverage

Do you have sufficient automobile liability limits? Will you be protected against liability claims in the event you are involved in an at-fault accident? Most individuals do not understand how the personal automobile policy responds to these exposures.

At TIS, we want to make sure you understand this issue so that you can select the liability limits right for your financial situation. In addition, we will advise you on this and other issues such as whether you need to purchase liability coverage when you rent a car and which deductibles are the most cost-efficient. Let us advise you on the most effective way to manage these risks.

Auto Insurance Coverages

Auto insurance is an insurance coverage that is required by each state. State requirements typically involve liability coverage. However, most insureds elect for liability and physical damage coverages. Add-on options are also available for those who wish for more extensive coverage.

Liability

Insures against injury and property that you may cause to other persons. The key is that it involves you being held financially responsible for injuries to other persons because of your driving, your ownership, or other use of your vehicle.

Medical Payments

Coverage handles expenses incurred due to an injury of any occupant in your vehicle, regardless of who is at fault. 

Uninsured and Underinsured Motorists

Coverage typically pays for injury you suffer from an accident caused by a person who has no insurance/is inadequately insured, a person who can’t be located (“hit and run drivers”), or a person who has insurance but whose insurance company is insolvent.

Collision

Covers damage to your own vehicle that happens when your vehicle runs into another object, such as other vehicles, trees, light poles, mountains, etc.

Comprehensive

Coverage provides for damage to your vehicle that is due to sources other than those covered under Collision, such as fire, theft, hitting an animal, vandalism, earthquake, flood, or hail.

Add-On

COVERAGES

These insurance products aren’t typically included, but can be added to an auto policy.

Towing and Labor

Coverage is to help pay for your costs to deal with a disabled car. It could help pay for the vehicle to be towed to a service station or for any repair that occurs at the location of the car’s breakdown. Note that this coverage is for labor rather than the costs of car parts.

Rental Reimbursement

Coverage reimburses your expense of renting a car as a temporary replacement. The car being replaced must be an insured vehicle that’s unavailable for use because of it being damaged, lost (stolen), or destroyed in a covered loss.

Gap Coverage

Provides coverage for the difference in or “gap” if the amount owed on a vehicle loan or lease is more than the amount paid after a total loss claim. This coverage is recommended if you owe more than your car is worth.
