Part F - General Provisions Automatic termination

Joint Ownership Coverage Endorsement (PP 03 34)

mends the definition of "you" and "your" to refer to 2 or more individuals, other than husband and wife, who reside in the same household, or to non-resident relatives who jointly own the insured vehicle.

Other Insurance

other auto liability insurance is in place at the time of the loss, the personal auto policy will only pay its share of the loss. That share is the proportion the policy's limit bears to all insurance in place. - For example, if the policy provides $100,000 of property damage liability insurance and another policy also provides $100,000 of property damage liability insurance, the insured's policy will only pay ½ of the liability loss. Because the total insurance in place is $200,000 and the limit of liability provided by the insured's policy is $100,000, the insured's policy pays ½ of the total insurance in place. -This policy pays liability losses on an excess basis for non-owned vehicles. For example, the covered loss involves a car the insured borrowed from his neighbor. The insurance in place on the neighbor's car must pay first (it's primary insurance) and then this policy will pay (it's excess insurance).
