Full coverage versus liability-only in Newark

The example below shows the difference between Nissan Versa insurance premiums with full physical damage coverage compared to only buying liability only. The data assumes no claims, a clean driving record, $100 deductibles, drivers are not married, and no additional discounts are factored in.

When to switch to liability coverage only

There is no set rule of when to phase out comp and collision coverage, but there is a general convention. If the annual cost of comprehensive and collision coverage is more than 10% of the replacement cost minus the deductible, then it could be time to drop full coverage.

For example, let’s say your Nissan Versa settlement value is $6,000 and you have $1,000 policy deductibles. If your vehicle is destroyed, you would only receive $5,000 after you pay the deductible. If you are paying over $500 annually for full coverage, then you might want to think about dropping full coverage.

There are some situations where only buying liability is not advised. If you still owe a portion of the original loan, you have to keep full coverage as part of the loan conditions. Also, if you don’t have enough money to buy a different vehicle in the event your current vehicle is totaled, you should not opt for liability only.

Educate yourself about insurance coverages

Learning about specific coverages of a insurance policy can be of help when determining the right coverages for your vehicles. Insurance terms can be ambiguous and nobody wants to actually read their policy. Shown next are the usual coverages found on most insurance policies.

Liability

Liability coverage provides protection from injuries or damage you cause to other people or property by causing an accident. It protects you against claims from other people. Liability doesn’t cover damage to your own property or vehicle.

Liability coverage has three limits: per person bodily injury, per accident bodily injury, and a property damage limit. You commonly see limits of 15/30/5 which stand for $15,000 bodily injury coverage, a limit of $30,000 in injury protection per accident, and property damage coverage for $5,000.

Liability insurance covers things such as pain and suffering, bail bonds, loss of income and structural damage. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is up to you, but you should buy as large an amount as possible. New Jersey state minimum liability requirements are 15/30/5 but you should consider buying higher limits.

The chart below demonstrates why the minimum limit may not be adequate.

Auto collision coverage

Collision coverage pays for damage to your Versa resulting from a collision with another car or object. You will need to pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the remainder.

Collision coverage protects against things like hitting a parking meter, scraping a guard rail, colliding with a tree and sideswiping another vehicle. Paying for collision coverage can be pricey, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from lower value vehicles. It’s also possible to bump up the deductible on your Versa to bring the cost down.

UM/UIM (Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist) coverage

Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection from other drivers when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. It can pay for medical payments for you and your occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.

Since a lot of drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required (which is 15/30/5), their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages is very important.

Medical payments and PIP coverage

Personal Injury Protection (PIP) and medical payments coverage kick in for expenses like ambulance fees, chiropractic care, funeral costs, hospital visits and prosthetic devices. They are often used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. Medical payments and PIP cover not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and also covers any family member struck as a pedestrian. PIP is not available in all states and may carry a deductible

Comprehensive auto coverage

Comprehensive insurance coverage covers damage caused by mother nature, theft, vandalism and other events. You first must pay your deductible then your comprehensive coverage will pay.

Comprehensive coverage pays for claims such as falling objects, theft, rock chips in glass and a tree branch falling on your vehicle. The highest amount you’ll receive from a claim is the actual cash value, so if the vehicle is not worth much consider removing comprehensive coverage.

Shop smart and save

As you go through the steps to switch your coverage, don’t be tempted to reduce coverage to reduce premium. In many instances, someone dropped liability limits or collision coverage only to regret at claim time they didn’t purchase enough coverage. The ultimate goal is to find the BEST coverage at an affordable rate while not skimping on critical coverages.

Cost effective Nissan Versa insurance is available from both online companies as well as from independent agents in Newark, so you need to quote Newark auto insurance with both to have the best selection. Some insurance providers do not provide online quoting and most of the time these small insurance companies provide coverage only through independent insurance agents.

We just showed you a lot of tips how to lower your Nissan Versa insurance rates in Newark. The key thing to remember is the more price quotes you have, the better likelihood of getting affordable Newark auto insurance quotes. Drivers may even discover the biggest savings come from some of the lesser-known companies. These companies may have significantly lower car insurance rates on certain market segments than their larger competitors like State Farm or Progressive.
