Three reasons to not skimp on car insurance

Despite the potentially high cost of Kia Sorento insurance, insuring your vehicle serves an important purpose.

• Most states have minimum liability requirements which means you are required to buy a minimum amount of liability coverage in order to get the vehicle licensed. In Nevada these limits are 15/30/10 which means you must have $15,000 of bodily injury coverage per person, $30,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and $10,000 of property damage coverage.
• If you have a lien on your vehicle, almost every bank will make it mandatory that you have comprehensive coverage to guarantee payment of the loan. If you cancel or allow the policy to lapse, the bank will be required to insure your Kia at an extremely high rate and force you to pay the higher premium.
• Insurance safeguards both your Kia Sorento and your assets. It will also cover all forms of medical expenses for you, any passengers, and anyone injured in an accident. One policy coverage, liability insurance, will also pay attorney fees if someone files suit against you as the result of an accident. If you receive damage to your vehicle caused by a storm or accident, comprehensive (other-than-collision) and collision coverage will pay to repair the damage minus the deductible amount.

The benefits of insuring your Sorento greatly outweigh the cost, especially for larger claims. According to a survey of 1,000 drivers, the average driver is wasting up to $820 a year so compare rates at every policy renewal to be sure current rates are still competitive.

Exclusive Auto Insurance Agents

Agents in the exclusive channel normally can only provide a single company’s rates like Allstate, Farmers Insurance, State Farm, and AAA. Exclusive agencies are unable to shop your coverage around so if the price isn’t competitive there isn’t much they can do. These agents are usually well trained on their company’s products which helps them sell insurance even at higher premiums.

More Las Vegas agents

Picking an car insurance agent needs to be determined by more than just the premium amount. Here are some questions you should ask.

• Does the agency support the community they serve?
• Is the quote a firm price?
• Is the agent and/or agency licensed to do business in Nevada?
• How often do they review policy coverages?
• Are they involved in claim handling?

If you feel you receive reasonable responses to these questions and cheap Sorento insurance quotes, most likely you have located an insurance agent that meets the criteria to properly insure your vehicles. But keep in mind policyholders can cancel coverage at any point so don’t feel you’re contractually obligated to a specific company indefinitely.

Detailed coverages of your car insurance policy

Having a good grasp of your policy aids in choosing which coverages you need and the correct deductibles and limits. Policy terminology can be confusing and coverage can change by endorsement. Shown next are typical coverages found on the average car insurance policy.

Collision coverage

Collision coverage pays for damage to your Sorento from colliding with another vehicle or an object, but not an animal. You will need to pay your deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company.

Collision can pay for things like damaging your car on a curb, crashing into a building, colliding with another moving vehicle and colliding with a tree. Collision is rather expensive coverage, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are older. Drivers also have the option to increase the deductible on your Sorento to get cheaper collision coverage.

Protection from uninsured/underinsured drivers

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 injuries to you and your family and damage to your Kia Sorento.

Since a lot of drivers only purchase the least amount of liability that is required (15/30/10), it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. For this reason, having high UM/UIM coverages should not be overlooked. Usually these limits do not exceed the liability coverage limits.

Medical expense insurance

Med pay and PIP coverage pay for immediate expenses for things like surgery, X-ray expenses, rehabilitation expenses, pain medications and EMT expenses. The coverages can be used in conjunction with a health insurance policy or if you do not have health coverage. Coverage applies to not only the driver but also the vehicle occupants and also covers being hit by a car walking across the street. PIP coverage is only offered in select states and gives slightly broader coverage than med pay

Auto liability insurance

This coverage can cover damages or injuries you inflict on other’s property or people. Liability coverage has three limits: bodily injury per person, bodily injury per accident and property damage. Your policy might show policy limits of 15/30/10 that translate to $15,000 bodily injury coverage, a limit of $30,000 in injury protection per accident, and property damage coverage for $10,000. Alternatively, you may have one number which is a combined single limit which provides one coverage limit rather than limiting it on a per person basis.

Liability coverage pays for things such as funeral expenses, pain and suffering, bail bonds, repair bills for other people’s vehicles and medical services. The amount of liability coverage you purchase is your choice, but it’s cheap coverage so purchase higher limits if possible. Nevada state law requires minimum liability limits of 15/30/10 but drivers should carry better liability coverage.

The chart below shows why buying the state minimum limits may not be high enough to adequately cover claims.

Comprehensive (Other than Collision)

Comprehensive insurance coverage pays to fix your vehicle from damage OTHER than collision with another vehicle or object. A deductible will apply and the remainder of the damage will be paid by comprehensive coverage.

Comprehensive can pay for things like damage from a tornado or hurricane, hail damage, a tree branch falling on your vehicle and theft. The maximum payout a car insurance company will pay at claim time is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle’s value is low it’s probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.
