Insurance basics
Good decisions start
with clear answers.
Clear comparisons start with clear information. As we build a more transparent, useful way to explore coverage, these plain-language basics can help you make sense of your options from the start.
01What is an insurance deductible, and why is it important?+
Your deductible is the amount you agree to pay yourself when you make a covered claim. The insurer pays the remaining eligible amount, up to your policy limit. A higher deductible often lowers your premium, but means more out-of-pocket cost if you claim.
02What is an insurance premium, and how is it calculated?+
Your premium is the price you pay for insurance, usually monthly or annually. Insurers consider factors such as coverage, location, claims history, the insured property or vehicle, and your deductible. The factors differ by product and insurer.
03What does insurance coverage mean?+
Coverage is the protection described in your policy: the events, losses, people, or property your insurer may cover. Every policy has its own terms, limits, deductibles, and exclusions.
04What is an insurance claim, and how does the claim process work?+
A claim is a request for your insurer to pay for a loss that may be covered. You report what happened and provide requested information. The insurer reviews the circumstances, coverage, deductible, and limits before making a decision.
05What is liability coverage, and why do you need it?+
Liability coverage can help if you are legally responsible for injuring someone or damaging their property. It may help with eligible damages and legal costs, up to the policy limit.
06What is a policy limit?+
A policy limit is the most an insurer will pay for a covered claim or category of loss. Limits may apply per claim, per person, per occurrence, or for the entire policy period.
07What is excluded from an insurance policy?+
Exclusions are situations, losses, or items your policy does not cover. They can include intentional damage, normal wear and tear, or risks requiring separate coverage. Read the policy wording carefully.
08Should you choose a higher or lower deductible?+
A higher deductible may reduce your premium, but only makes sense if you could comfortably pay it after a loss. A lower deductible generally costs more upfront but reduces your out-of-pocket amount after a covered claim.
09What is the difference between replacement cost and actual cash value?+
Replacement cost is generally the cost to replace an item with a new similar one, subject to policy terms. Actual cash value generally reflects the item’s value after depreciation, so the settlement can differ considerably.
10Why do insurance premiums increase?+
Premiums can change because of rising repair or replacement costs, claims patterns, severe weather, inflation, changes to the insured risk, or updates to your coverage. Ask what factors affected your renewal.
