If you have a loan or lease on your vehicle, the lender will require full coverage. You may also need full coverage under a GAP policy, which can help you pay off your loan if your car is totaled.

Cheapest full coverage insurance in San Francisco

Some risks that may be unique to the Bay Area, such as earthquakes and auto theft, are usually not covered by state minimum insurance. Comprehensive coverage provides protection against damage caused by non-collision events such as weather-related incidents, animal interference and theft.

Full coverage also includes collision coverage, which pays for repairs to your vehicle after an accident, regardless of who is at fault.
