It can be frustrating to spend money monthly on insurance when you don’t use it. But in that moment when you do need it - when a second can change everything - having the right coverage will mean the world. And not having enough coverage can hurt very badly. When you’re building an insurance policy, think about the possibility of being in an accident and what sort of help you’ll need at that time. Follow these suggestions to build an insurance policy that will have your back in the case of an accident.
Make your deductibles reasonable. A lot of people choose a high deductible - meaning the amount of money that will come out of their own pocket in the case of an accident - in order to lower their monthly payments. But think about what you’ll do if your car, or that of the other person, is seriously damaged during an accident. Will you really be able to pull several thousand dollars out of your own pocket to repair it? Choose your deductibles with an eye to what you’ll be able to afford at the time of the accident.
Make sure you have uninsured motorist coverage. What happens if you get side-swiped by someone who doesn’t have coverage? Ask your carrier for uninsured motorist insurance. Your own company will take care of you in the event that the other person was driving illegally.
Go for the towing package. Accidents don’t happen when we have plenty of money in the bank. Pay for towing coverage. The last thing you need to worry about is how you’re going to pay for your wrecked vehicle’s towing to a shop.
Get the rental car. You can typically choose between a $30 and $50 daily reimbursement for car rental costs. This is an excellent coverage to get. Even if your vehicle breaks down you’ll be able to take advantage of this coverage. There’s nothing more irritating than having to pay for a rental car when you don’t want to.
Go with a reputable company. There are hundreds of new insurance companies popping up, hoping to make money off the millions of people who don’t have much money to spend on car insurance. Even though their premiums are cheap, the likelihood that they’ll respond quickly in the event of an accident is doubtful. Go for a recognized, nationwide company like State Farm, All State or Geico. These companies are serious about protecting you.
