Buying a new car can be exciting. However, making sure that your new car is properly insured can help expand that enjoyment in the future. Janis-Shunta Insurance in Muskegon, MI would like to help you with your insurance needs.
Before You Buy Your Car
If you are carrying a loan on your new car, most lenders will require that you have insurance on your car before leaving the dealership or car lot. It is a good idea to have your insurance representative aware that you are purchasing a new vehicle so that you can get insurance set up quickly the day of the purchase.
What Type of Insurance?
If you will be making payments on your vehicle, it is usually required that you carry full coverage insurance. Full coverage insurance is always the best option because it protects the driver in every way possible. If you are at fault in an accident, or even if you are not at fault, full coverage will protect you from expensive vehicle repair costs and liability from other drivers.
Is Liability an Option?
Liability coverage is an option if you are not making payments on the car through a lender. However, this type of insurance does not cover repairs or replacement of your car in the event of an accident. This will only cover liability if you are the cause of an accident which causes damage or injury to another person.
Amounts of Insurance
Before settling on a plan, make sure you are comfortable with the coverage amounts. Many people are under the impression that because they have insurance, they are covered for an unlimited amount. This is not the case. Your coverage is limited to the coverage amounts you choose.
