Tailor your auto insurance coverage (add-ons and all) to your budget and needs!
A typical car insurance policy covers you from having to pay for damages that you cause. However, for truly personalized coverage which protects you from all sorts of accidents and from facing financial hardships, auto insurance add-ons are available.
When comparing auto insurance policies and add-on coverage, the cheapest policies tend to be the ones without added bells and whistles. However, those paying for auto insurance should be an advocate of getting the right amount of protection at the right price, rather than opting for the cheapest, most minimal policies.
To determine your desired coverage, here’s a run-down of the extras most commonly offered auto add-ons!
Accident forgiveness – For those who are normally a great driver and rarely file a claim, this is for you! Some insurance companies will provide those who are qualified with forgiveness for accidents that rarely occur.
Rental car reimbursement – If you need a rental vehicle after an accident, your policy can foot the bill of the cost of the rental car so that you don’t have to be without your car and money!
Loss of use – Anyone who has been without their car after an accident knows the frustration of using public transport and taxi cabs. This coverage reimburses your expenses that you face when your car is getting repaired or replaced.
Towing & roadside assistance – Avoid the heart-sinking feeling of breaking down on the side of the road with no means of help. Your auto insurance policy can provide you with a tow truck that will transport you and your car to a mechanic, locksmith services, battery “jump starting”, delivery of fuel, and other repairs that can be fixed on the side of the road (literally)!
Small claim forgiveness – Small claims, such as fender benders, can increase your auto insurance rate. In the spirit of forgiveness, this coverage means that your rate even if you file a small claim.
Funeral or accidental death insurance – If you already have a life insurance policy with a funeral rider, this can be an unnecessary addition! Some life insurance policies make sure that some of the insurance money is sent directly to a funeral home, so you don’t need to double up by putting this on your auto insurance as well.
