Three Important Things to Know About Collision and Comprehensive Insurance (And Determining Which One If Not Both, is Right for You)
Personal Auto Insurance is not only something everyone needs to drive a car legally in most states in the nation, but it’s also something you won’t want to be without if an accident, devastating natural event, or theft occurs. And with the average driver racking up about 13,500 miles behind the wheel resulting in an estimated six million car accidents and car insurance claims totaling more than $170 million in the US each year, the likelihood that a motor vehicle accident or natural event might impact you or a family member is fairly high. Beyond fastening your seat belt and following the rules of the road, it’s important to have the right car insurance coverage to protect yourself and the ones you love. But which coverage is the right one for you? The Problem Solvers at Gillman Insurance breaks down the top three most important things to know about Collision Insurance and Comprehensive Insurance…
It’s Situational
Regardless of who is at fault, Collision Insurance helps pay for the repair or replacement of your vehicle IN THE EVENT that your vehicle hits an object – like a tree or light pole, your vehicle hits another vehicle, or if another vehicle hits you. Comprehensive Insurance – what we often deem as the everything BUT Collision Insurance here at Gillman – covers damage from weather – like hurricanes, tornados, hail, or flood, as well as theft, vandalism, or fire.
They Work Best in Tandem
At Gillman Insurance, we pride ourselves on being Problem Solvers. What we do not possess is a talent for predicting the future. Since there’s no way to know for sure whether you will be involved in a collision or fall victim to a carjacking or weather event, it’s wise to have both Comprehensive and Collision Insurance on every vehicle your family owns. Your Gillman Problem Solver can help walk you through the different liability limits, as well as the best carrier to fit both your potential needs and budget.
