Understanding Car Insurance Coverage

(NAPSI)-Each year, millions of Americans prepare their vehicles for winter's inclement weather and treacherous travel conditions. Unfortunately, many do so without a key element-the certainty of whether or not their auto insurance policy protects them for any unexpected accidents they might encounter along the way.

A survey commissioned by Allstate-in conjunction with the introduction of the Good Hands® Coverage Checkup, a checklist provided by Allstate agents to help review consumers' car insurance policy limits-indicated that approximately 60 percent of respondents are not confident they understand their car insurance coverage.

Confidence Gap

More than 40 percent of consumers first answered that they were not confident in their understanding of their auto insurance coverage. However, after being quizzed on specific incidents such as hitting a deer and crashing after a tire blowout, the number of respondents who admitted they weren't confident rose significantly-to nearly 60 percent.

"When the unexpected occurs, the difference between hoping you're protected and knowing you are is crucial," said Lisa Cochrane, vice president of marketing, Allstate. "That's where Allstate's network of more than 14,000 agencies can help consumers feel confident in their coverage."

Additional survey findings included:

• It's All in a Name

A higher percentage of respondents who know their insurance agent's name feel more confident in their knowledge of their auto insurance policies than those who don't have an agent or don't know the agent's name.

• The Great Equalizer

Prior to being polled on accident-specific questions, 70 percent of men were confident they understood what their insurance coverage includes, compared to just 50 percent of women. Following the questions, men dropped to a 50 percent level and women to a 33 percent mark.

Coverage Checkup

Allstate developed its Good Hands® Coverage Checkup to help consumers review their current auto insurance policy limits and identify where they may need more coverage or less. An invaluable checklist the company's agents can provide-the checkup is free for all consumers, regardless of their insurance carrier-takes just 15 minutes, can help uncover gaps in coverage limits that could expose a consumer to financial risk and points out available discounts and savings.

Using Your Personal Vehicle For Business?

(NAPSI)-Not all auto insurance is the same. A personal auto insurance policy generally won't cover damage to your car if you're using it for business purposes.

Even if your personal policy has "business-use" coverage, you may find yourself at a loss when an accident happens, especially if your liability limits are not high enough to cover the damage. Make sure you're protected.

Call your insurance company or independent agent and ask these questions:

• How do you define "commercial use"? Some insurers may simply define it as transporting goods for compensation or a fee. That could include services like:

• pizza and newspaper delivery;

• catering;

• door-to-door consulting services;

• landscaping or snowplowing services; or

• day care/church van services.

Even real estate agents may qualify. Fall into one of these categories? Consider a commercial vehicle policy.

Here are some questions to ask to determine if commercial auto insurance is right for you.

• What are my liability limits? In general, a commercial auto policy can offer higher liability limits. Larger vehicles, such as delivery vans, can cause more damage than passenger cars.

• Does my personal policy cover me for issues specific to my business? For example, if you have a trailer that damages another vehicle while on a job, a personal liability policy may not cover the repairs. A commercial policy will.

• Do I have employees who drive my vehicles? In general, if other people drive your vehicles for work, you need a commercial auto policy.

You also need a commercial auto policy if your vehicle hauls tools or equipment weighing more than 500 pounds, makes deliveries or requires filings for interstate for for-hire trucking businesses.

An independent insurance agent can help you better understand business needs and put together a package that meets your needs. Find an agent at www.progressiveagent.com.
