It means if you happen to get in a collision accident in which someone hits you and you have their information and everything, but that party doesn't have any type of insurance what so ever. Your deductible is waived.
It does not count towards "hit-and-run"
You must be able to say that you actually saw the other party hit your car and you got some sort of identification toward them. (i.e. Licence plate, drivers licence etc...)

What does uninsured motorist coverage mean?
Uninsured motoristUninsured Motorist coverage (which is required coverage in many states) covers injuries that the driver and occupants of a car sustain when the at-fault vehicle was not insured for liability coverage. UM does not cover the physical damage to the vehicle. UMPD (uninsured motorist property damage), where available, covers that physical damage. UMPD is essentially similar to collision coverage, which is first party insurance that pays regardless of fault, subject to a deductible.Uninsured motorist coverage pays essentially the same type of benefits (such as for pain and suffering) as the liability insurance of the other party would pay if the at-fault party had liability insurance. Additionally, the uninsured motorist insurer will generally evaluate a claimant's injuries in much the same way as a liability insurer would, and the claimant is subject to a reduction in damages for contributory or comparative negligence according to the law of the jurisdiction.
Can you drive an insured car without insurance?
If you are "Uninsured", then you are "uninsured. You may or may not be an insured driver on the vehicle owners policy. Just because someone else has coverage for that vehicle does not automatically mean you are a covered driver. The insured should contact the insurance company or the insurance agent to determine the status of an unscheduled driver. Some auto insurance policies will cover the occasional driver while other policies will not. All drivers of a motor vehicle on public roads are required to carry proof of financial responsibility at all times.
What does stacked uninsured motorist coverage mean?
Uninsured motorist coverage is usually listed in ways such as 10/20, 25/50, etc. That means $10,000 per person, $20,000 max per accident. This coverage is for each vehicle on the policy. If you stack the coverage and have 2 cars, you can collect the coverage from both vehicles on your policy if you have a claim (therefore doubling your coverage--$20,000 per person/$40,000 per accident). If you have 3 cars, you collect from all three vehicles (tripling coverage). Unstacked means separate and you only collect from the vehicle you are in at the time of the accident. Stacked coverage is more expensive, but is a great way to get additional coverage for a relatively small increase in premium. If you only have one car--you want to choose unstacked. Otherwise you pay more with no additional benefit

What does stacked insurance mean in Florida?
Stacked coverage means that you may combine your coverage limits for each automobile insured under your policy. For example, if you insure three cars and obtain stacked coverage with limits of $10,000 per person and $20,000 per accident for each auto.

If the coverage was unstacked, then the limit of coverage for each vehicle would be $10,000 per person and $20,000 per accident.Stacked Uninsured Motorist Insurance is the best type of UM insurance to protect you and your family.

What does stacked uninsured motorist coverage mean and will it get your car fixed by insurance?
"Stacked" refers to uninsured motorist coverage, not to liability or physical damage coverage. In essence, if there are two cars in a household, both with insured motorist coverage, the uninsured motorist limits of the cars can be "stacked"--added together. Naturally, this will only make a difference if the severity of the injury and the clarity of the liability is such as to warrant that size of a payment to the insured. Keep in mind that the assessment of damages by an insurer in an uninsured motorist claim is similar to that done by a liability insurer in a third-party claim. Note also that some states have "anti-stacking" statutes which prohibit the stacking of ininsured motorist limits.
