The Declarations Page: The Centerpiece of Your Auto Insurance Policy
Usually found within the first few pages of an auto insurance policy, the Declarations Page provides information on the insured person – such as name and address – in addition to key policy information, such as the policy period and a breakdown of policy limits.
The Insurance Declarations Page often contains the following policy details:
- Name and address of the insured and the drivers of the covered vehicle(s)
- Specifics on the covered vehicle(s): Year, Make, Model, Body style, and Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
- Itemization of Coverages (such as Personal Injury Protection (PIP), Liability, Damage)
- Policy number and effective dates of coverage (From mm/dd/yyyy to mm/dd/yyyy)
- Policy premium (sometimes broken down into payment installments)
- Deductible (The amount of your out-of-pocket costs, besides your policy premium)
- Policy Limits (how much the insurance company will pay out)
The Declarations page is generally a snapshot of your insurance policy but it is supplemented by the additional details outlined in other parts of your policy.
