TOPIC 1: PERSONAL AUTO INSURANCE
14 Questions • 14.9% of Exam • This topic covers various aspects of personal auto policies, including deductibles, liability limits, and
coverage options.
QUESTION 1
A policyholder purchases an insurance policy with a $1,000 deductible for collision
damages and a $500 deductible for other-than-collision damages. If the policyholder
files a claim for $2,000 in damages, how much will the insurer pay?
[A] $1,400
[B] $1,500
[C] $1,700
[D] $2,000
Correct Answer: $1,400.
Rationale: The insurer will pay the amount exceeding the deductible for each type of damage. For collision damages,
$2,000 - $1,000 = $1,000. For other-than-collision damages, $2,000 - $500 = $1,500. The insurer will pay the lower of the
two amounts, which is $1,000. The policyholder will pay the remaining $1,400.
QUESTION 2
A policyholder purchases a personal auto insurance policy with a $1,000
comprehensive deductible. The policy also includes $100,000 in comprehensive
coverage. If the policyholder files a comprehensive claim for a loss totaling $4,000,
what is the maximum amount the insurer will reimburse for the loss?
[A] $300
[B] $1,000
[C] $1,900
[D] $100,000
Correct Answer: $300.
Rationale: The policyholder pays the deductible first, so the insurer only reimburses the amount after the deductible is
subtracted.

[D] 100%
Correct Answer: 25%.
QUESTION 4
A driver purchases a policy with a collision deductible of $500 and an
other-than-collision deductible of $1,000. If the vehicle sustains damage in an accident

other-than-collision damage?
[A] $1,000
[B] $2,000
[C] $1,500
