Your limit is the total amount we’ll pay if you make a claim on a covered loss. Your deductible is the portion of the claim you pay. For example, if you have an accident which causes $2,000 in damage to your car and you have a $500 deductible, you will pay the first $500 and we would pay the remaining $1,500.
Your premium will be higher if you have a higher limit and a lower deductible. When choosing the deductible that’s right for you, think about how much you could afford to pay if you were involved in an accident that resulted in damage to your car. If you have a lower deductible, you’ll pay less out-of-pocket costs when you make a claim, however you’ll pay a higher premium.
Your policy covers most licensed drivers who have permission to drive your car but there are certain exceptions. Speak to your agent for additional details.
If you have added Loss of Use or Transportation Replacement endorsement to your policy, we will cover the cost of alternate transportation such as a rental vehicle while your car is being repaired. This endorsement is not automatically included with your policy.
