Amica car insurance discounts

Most car insurance companies offer discounts, but Amica offers an impressive range of

insurance discounts

and perks.

Always check for discounts before you sign a new car insurance policy since credits and deductions can really add up.

Amica coverage options

Insurance needs are different for everyone and each state requires different coverage. Fortunately, Amica offers a variety of

car insurance types

Basic

liability coverage

: Most

states require that you carry liability

to pay for damages caused to others if you’re at fault in an accident. You’ll see liability broken into

bodily injury liability coverage

, which covers the cost of others’ medical bills, and

property damage liability coverage

, which takes care of damaged property.

Collision coverage

: This coverage pays for damages and repairs to your vehicle if you’re in an accident. It doesn’t matter whether or not you were at fault. Keep in mind that you will have to pay an

insurance deductible

to file a collision coverage claim.

Comprehensive coverage

: Comprehensive insurance takes care of damages caused by natural accidents, extreme weather, or even

car theft

. Again, you will have to pay a deductible.

Uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage

: If you’re in an accident caused by someone else who doesn’t have any or enough liability insurance, uninsured motorist coverage looks after you. Some states even require it.

Personal injury protection (PIP)

: This no-fault coverage is required in

no-fault states

. It pays for medical expenses, rehabilitation programs, funeral expenses, lost wages, and loss of services.

Amica’s additional tools and services

Amica also offers additional options, but coverage can vary by region. Check with Amica insurance agents to see if they offer the following add-on policies:

Medical payments

: You might see this referred to as MedPay. It’s an optional insurance product that helps pay for medical or funeral expenses for you, your family, or your passengers.

Full glass repair coverage: Enjoy peace of mind knowing that you won’t have to pay a deductible to replace your windshield if it gets cracked.

Roadside assistance

: This is sometimes called towing and labor coverage. You’ll get 24/7 roadside assistance that covers towing, fuel delivery, battery services, locksmith services, and more.

Rental reimbursement coverage

: If you have to pay for a rental car or public transit after you submit a claim and await vehicle repair, rental coverage helps pay for these bills.

Auto/loan lease coverage (

gap insurance

): If your new car is totaled, gap insurance takes care of the difference between the

actual cash value (ACV)

and the amount outstanding on your loan.

Umbrella policy

: Think of this as extra protection for your car, home, and other investments.

Rideshare coverage

: Amica is expanding its rideshare insurance, but it’s important to check with an agent to see if this optional coverage is available in your area.

Amica also offers a platinum choice auto policy, which is their premium insurance plan. It includes new car replacement coverage, credit monitoring, prestige rental coverage, and more.
