What Type of Coverage Do You Need for a Luxury Car?
You will want to keep your pride and job safe and protected both on and off the road. Luxury cars are also more likely to be targeted by thieves or joy riders, so you should do everything in your power to keep it safe even when it is not be driven. To ensure that your luxury car is well covered, consider the following coverage is part of your auto insurance policy:
Liability Insurance
The general rule for liability insurance is to buy enough to cover the value of anything you stand to lose if you are held liable for damages. This insurance will cover medical expenses and property damage to other parties in the event of a car accident if you’re proven to be at fault. Most insurance companies will have a maximum amount of liability that they’ll cover with standard auto insurance, so if you are buying a supercar, you may need to speak to a specialist insurance provider.
Collision and Comprehensive Insurance
This should cover both damages to your own car and any others that are damaged as the result of a collision. Comprehensive insurance also covers damages to your vehicle caused outside of accidents, including damage caused by natural disasters, falling objects, and theft. Having this type of coverage ensures that you covered for the cost of repairs to your vehicle, regardless of fault. The more expensive your car is, the more expensive it generally is to repair, so drivers of premium vehicles should not be without this.
Personal Injury Protection
Personal injury protection (PIP) insurance covers your medical bills and lost wages if you or your passengers are injured in a car accident. Here in Florida, PIP coverage is required to be purchased by all owners of motor vehicles registered in this state. PIP coverage makes the individual responsible for their own injuries in an accident regardless of fault.
Property Damage Car Insurance
Property damage insurance covers you for any financial liability that occurs should you get into an accident and cause damage to someone else’s property. Property damage coverage helps to ensure that any driver will be able to assume some financial responsibility for damage caused in an accident where they are deemed at fault.
Gap Insurance
Let’s face it, most people who purchase an expensive car, don’t buy it outright. If you have the disposable income to afford the monthly loan payments on a high-value car, then usually you will purchase your dream car using a finance agreement of some kind or another. If the worst should happen, gap insurance kicks in cover vehicle depreciation if you have a car loan. Rather than paying out to buy a new car, it pays the difference between the insurance claim check for a totaled or stolen car and the amount owed on the loan.
