Your auto insurance is really a package of seven primary
coverage's, which together make up a standard auto policy. Each of this
coverage's has its own separate premium.
Bodily injury liability This provides protection if you injure or kill someone while
operating your car. This is a coverage you want to keep at a consistent level, even as your
car gets older and declines in value. In the event of a serious accident, you want enough
insurance (higher limits) to protect the asset that may become subject to a lawsuit.
Medical payments, no-fault or personal injury insurance This
usually pays for the medical expenses of the driver and passengers in your car.
Uninsured motorists protection This will pay for your injuries
caused by an uninsured driver or, in some states, a hit-and-run driver, in a crash that is
not your fault. Given the number of uninsured motorists driving on our highways today,
this is very important coverage to have, even in states with no-fault insurance.
Comprehensive physical damage insurance This coverage will pay for
damage to your car if it is stolen, or damaged by flood, fire, animals, or other covered
perils.
Collision insurance This pays for damage to your car when your
car hits, or is hit by, another object.NBP offers a number of deductibles. You can opt for
a higher deductible in order to lower your premium.
Property damage liability This provides you with protection
if your car damages someone's property, and it also provides you with legal defense.
Rental car reimbursement This coverage helps pay the cost of
renting alternate transportation if your auto is disabled in an accident for more than 24
hours.
