Merchants Flexible Choice Auto® includes many coverage options and money saving discounts. With the flexibility of this coverage, you can tailor your policy to meet your needs.
Some of the included coverages Merchants provides for your auto include:
Liability Insurance
Bodily Injury and Property Damage Liability are included under the liability portion of your auto policy. Bodily Injury Liability helps pay for injuries another person may suffer from an accident you caused. Property Damage Liability will cover the damage you cause to another person’s property while driving.
Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Coverage
This coverage helps protect you should the other motorist involved in the accident not have auto insurance or sufficient auto insurance to cover damages done to you.
Comprehensive Insurance
Covers your vehicle from damage by theft, hail, fire or vandalism.
Collision Coverage
Covers you when involved in an accident or if you hit an object such as a fence. This helps repair or replace your vehicle.
Medical Payments
Covers you and the passengers of your vehicle should you become injured.
In addition to our standard coverages, optional coverages include:
Trip Coverage/Emergency Lodging Coverage
This coverage will provide you with emergency lodging when more than 50 miles from home while waiting for necessary repairs from a covered loss.
