How and Why to Enhance Your Auto Insurance Coverage

Reviewing your car insurance to ensure you have optimum protection.

When was the last time you reviewed your auto insurance? When you first got the policy? A year after? Generally, it's a good idea to review your coverage on a regular basis. Coverage needs can change as the years pass. There is also a good chance that rates have fluctuated since you first bought the policy. Reviewing your coverage and your coverage options help you maintain the right amount of insurance for the right price. For tips on how to get the most out of your coverage, check out how and why you should enhance it.
  • Raise Your Limits
In most states, there are minimum amounts of coverage needed within an auto insurance policy. If you have opted for the bare minimum to keep your costs down, you may want to think again. Property damage may run much higher than your coverage limit, meaning that you could be left in the lurch if you're found at-fault for an accident. Along with property damage, medical bills and liability can rack up some high costs - so it's safer to increase your limits so that you're well protected from digging into your own pockets.
  • Get Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist Coverage
While you may have adequate insurance if your vehicle is damaged, you can't predict what coverage the other driver will have - or won't have. When you're involved in an accident with another driver who is at fault, you rely on their insurance policy to cover the cost of damages. If they don't have insurance, or not enough of it, you could be left paying for damages and repairs yourself. Uninsured motorist coverage protects you from this additional cost.   To learn more about auto insurancecontact Abatelli Group, Inc. for a proper quote on your insurance needs.
