Key Auto Insurance Terms

Understanding your auto insurance does not have to be difficult. Here are 7 key auto insurance terms you should know:

  • Liability – Basic insurance that covers damages if you cause a crash. Legal expenses may be covered as well if you are sued.
  • Deductible – Amount required for you to pay out of pocket before insurance coverage kicks in.
  • Collision – Covers your vehicle if you hit objects or there is an accident. This is different than comprehensive which picks up where collision stops.
  • Full Coverage – Includes liability, collision, and comprehensive insurance in one policy.
  • Gap Coverage – The difference between the dollar value and loan balance is paid when your car is stolen or totaled.
