Uninsured Motorist Coverage
Uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage offers an extra layer of financial protection if you are in an accident that is someone else's fault, but they don't have the right types or amounts of insurance to pay for the damage.

If you are in a covered accident and your SUV is a total loss, the insurance company pays the fair market value. If you owe more on your GMC Terrain than it's worth, you are personally financially responsible for paying the difference between the insurance company settlement and the total amount due on the loan or lease.
