Declarations Page

Most insurers develop and maintain their own Personal Auto Policy Declarations. That is the easiest way to meet their specific needs and to comply with state law. The most common items found on the Personal Auto Policy Declarations include:

  • the name and address of the insurer, with or without a company logo
  • policy number
  • name and mailing address of the agency
  • name and mailing address of the insured
  • optionally, insured's occupation
  • policy period including effective and expiration date with month, day and year, as well as time of day
  • description of vehicle(s): model year, manufacturer, model, body type, vehicle identification number, cost new, month & year of purchase, (new or used)
  • deductible
  • rating information: business or personal use, one way mileage, annual mileage, vehicle symbol, driver classification, territory (optionally, separate territories for liability and damage to your auto), applicable credits (such as alarm, good student, senior, safety equipment, etc.) driver violation/accident surcharges, vehicle surcharges
  • coverage limits applying to entire policy: bodily injury, property damage (split or single limits), medical payments (or, if applicable, personal injury protection), uninsured (underinsured) motorists, damage to your auto, towing, etc.
  • coverage selected for each vehicle
  • any loss payee or lessor that may apply, including address
  • list of the forms and endorsements that apply to the personal auto policy or coverage section. Typically includes both mandatory & optional forms, including edition dates.
  • premiums per coverage, vehicle, and total policy premium

Some personal auto policy declarations divide the necessary information into two parts. The first section consists of the Personal Auto Policy Declarations page with the insurer, insured, and location information, including the policy term and basic coverages. The second part may contain information on optional coverages or, occasionally, a miscellaneous vehicle schedule.
