Handyman Insurance, Additional Vermont Auto Insurance Coverage
Similar to many states, in addition to liability policies, motorists must also carry uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage (UM/UIM). This is intended to cover insured’s for bodily injury or property damage that they sustain if involved in an accident with a driver who does not carry a policy or whose liability limits are not sufficient enough to compensate for the losses caused. Motorists must carry limits of $50,000 for bodily injury or death per person, $100,000 for bodily injury or death per accident, and $10,000 for property damage per accident. Claims for the property damage portion of this coverage are subject to a $150 deductible if the policyholder does not have comprehensive and collision.
Comprehensive and collision is an optional form of coverage that is designed to compensate the vehicle owner in the event that the insured automobile suffers a loss. These coverage’s insure against a wide range of perils that include collisions, glass breakage, theft, contact with animals, fire, vandalism, missiles, explosion and many more. Although not required by the state, consumers who are financing automobiles are often required by lenders to carry this coverage as part of a loan agreement.
