• Do I pay less for low miles?
• Why does it cost so much to insure a teen driver?
• Does insurance cover damages from a DUI accident?
• Why do I only qualify for high-risk insurance?
• Am I missing any policy discounts?
• Does my insurance cover a custom paint job?

Educate yourself about insurance coverages

Having a good grasp of your policy helps when choosing which coverages you need for your vehicles. Policy terminology can be ambiguous and coverage can change by endorsement. Listed below are typical coverage types available from insurance companies.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Medical payments and Personal Injury Protection insurance provide coverage for expenses such as pain medications, funeral costs, chiropractic care and doctor visits. They can be used to fill the gap from your health insurance policy or if you lack health insurance entirely. Medical payments and PIP cover all vehicle occupants and will also cover if you are hit as a while walking down the street. Personal injury protection coverage is not available in all states but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage

Comprehensive auto coverage

This coverage covers damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first must pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage.

Comprehensive insurance covers things such as hail damage, a tree branch falling on your vehicle, hitting a deer and theft. The maximum amount a insurance company will pay at claim time is the actual cash value, so if your deductible is as high as the vehicle’s value consider dropping full coverage.

Liability insurance

This will cover damage that occurs to a person or their property in an accident. It protects you against other people’s claims, and doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.

It consists of three limits, bodily injury for each person injured, bodily injury for the entire accident and a property damage limit. You might see policy limits of 50/100/50 which means $50,000 bodily injury coverage, a per accident bodily injury limit of $100,000, and a total limit of $50,000 for damage to vehicles and property. Another option is one limit called combined single limit (CSL) which limits claims to one amount without having the split limit caps.

Liability coverage pays for things such as bail bonds, repair bills for other people’s vehicles and medical expenses. How much liability coverage do you need? That is your choice, but you should buy higher limits if possible.

Collision coverage protection

This coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage resulting from a collision with a stationary object or other vehicle. You will need to pay your deductible and the rest of the damage will be paid by collision coverage.

Collision coverage pays for claims like hitting a parking meter, hitting a mailbox, backing into a parked car and sideswiping another vehicle. Collision coverage makes up a good portion of your premium, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. Another option is to raise the deductible to get cheaper collision coverage.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage provides protection when the “other guys” are uninsured or don’t have enough coverage. Covered claims include injuries to you and your family as well as damage to your BMW 1 Series.

Since a lot of drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their limits can quickly be used up. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage should not be overlooked. Usually the UM/UIM limits do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Quote more. Save more.

We just presented a lot of techniques to reduce 2013 BMW 1 Series insurance premium rates online. It’s most important to understand that the more providers you compare, the better your comparison will be. You may even discover the most savings is with a smaller regional carrier.
