Instructions ACORD 61 CA Uninsured Motorists Property Damage Coverage Offer

Instructions ACORD 61 CA Uninsured Motorists Property Damage Coverage Offer


MANDATORY OFFER

Instructions ACORD 61 CA Uninsured Motorists Property Damage Coverage Offer

AGENCY CUSTOMER ID

As with all ACORD forms with more than one page enter your agency customer ID so this page will be able to find the rest of this application if somewhere, somehow in that thing we call the business cycle they get separated from each other.

MANDATORY UNINSURED MOTORISTS PROPERTY DAMAGE COVERAGE OFFER

The wording in this section provides a description of this coverage.

Note this coverage is only available...

1 - If you have not rejected Uninsured Motorists Bodily Injury Coverage, and

2 - For autos for which you have not purchased Collision Coverage.

If you already have Collision coverage on an auto, then Uninsured Motorists Property Damage Coverage is considered to be redundant. I do not quite agree with that because I am not aware if collision coverage would pay for loss of resale value to a repaired auto which has been in an accident, but that is because I do not know the answer to that.

SELECTION / REJECTION

Select or reject ACORD 61CA


Regardless of whether you are selecting or rejecting coverage, you need to have the applicant indicate that decision on this form.

If the coverage is being selected check the line to the left of that statement and then list the vehicles for which coverage is selected. If you have more than three vehicles, use another form.

If coverage is being completely rejected, check the line to the left of that statement.

If coverage is being rejected when specifically named individuals are operating the vehicle check the line to the left of that statement and list the named individuals being excluded.

SIGNATURES




APPLICANT's SIGNATURE

Have your applicant sign here.

DATE

Have the applicant enter the date of the signing.

EFFECTIVE DATE

Enter the effective date of this coverage. Normally this will be the policy effective date, however, this can be done by endorsement during a policy period. In that case the effective date would be the date of the endorsement.
