What Kind of Insurance Do You Need for Your GMC Sierra?

Bodily Injury Liability

Bodily injury liability coverage covers medical costs associated with injuries to someone else in an accident you cause. This type of coverage is required in most states. 

Property Damage Liability

Property damage liability is required in most places in the United States. It pays for damage to someone else's property that you cause while driving your Sierra. 

You can choose to carry only the minimum required amount of liability coverage, but talk with your agent about balancing risk and premium costs. 

Medical Payments/Personal Injury Protection

Medical payments and personal injury protection cover medical bills for you and your passengers after a covered accident, regardless of who caused the accident. Instead of waiting for insurance to figure out who was at fault, you can get your medical bills paid right away with this type of coverage. 

Uninsured Motorist Coverage

Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage protects you from the financial problems that come with getting into an accident with someone who doesn't have enough insurance. It can help pay to repair your truck or pay for your medical care after an accident. 

Optional Coverage:

Collision

Collision insurance coverage pays to fix or replace your truck if you are in a covered accident with another vehicle. Your bank or lease company may require this type of full coverage insurance.

Comprehensive

Comprehensive insurance covers damage caused by most things not handled by a collision policy. If your Sierra is stolen or vandalized, or if you hit an animal while driving, your insurance company pays to fix or replace your truck up to its value, minus your deductible. 

Glass Coverage

Replacing your windshield probably won't mean opening an insurance claim, simply because in most cases the bill won't be higher than your deductible. Glass coverage can take care of this for a low monthly premium.

Gap Insurance

If the outstanding amount of your loan or lease is more than your Sierra's value, gap insurance can help protect your financial interests. If you are in an accident that results in a total loss, your insurance company will pay up to the truck's fair market value. Gap insurance can help you pay off your loan or lease if the settlement isn't enough to cover your debt.
