You have to weigh the value of your vehicle versus the cost of the insurance. If your vehicle is still financed you are required to keep full coverage on the vehicle. Another good option is to drop collision and keep comprehensive on the policy. Collision is if you hit something or turn it over and comprehensive is everything else including animal collisions and broken glass. The higher premium is on the collision.
Insurance will pay to repair, replace, or pay the actual cash value of the vehicle at the option of the insurance company. On a new vehicle that is financed I always recommend that the client purchase GAP coverage. GAP coverage pays the difference in the actual cash value of the vehicle and the balance of the loan or lease payoff. This is a good idea especially in the first year or so after the vehicle is purchased. The first year a new vehicle depreciates so much that the GAP coverage can really help out. The cost of GAP insurance from you insurance company is much less than purchasing it from the dealer.

most lein holders require coll and comp coverage to protect their (the are co-owners in effect of this vehicle should you default on the loan they don't want to try and sell a wrecked car) vehicle.. if you don't have it and prove it to them that you do have coverage, they will put this coverage on the vehicle themselves (and charge you) typcially at a much higher rate, than you can buy it for, it would be good idea to put it on the vehicle yourself until it is paid off.....
Humana is considered to be one of the best health insurance providers in the United States, but the level of coverage varies between plans. If you purchase yourself you can decide on the amount of coverage vs. cost, but if you get it through an employer they will decide your level of coverage themselves.
