Is there car insurance that specifically protects against vandalism?

There have been reports of car vandalism in my neighborhood and I'm worried my Nissan could be targeted next. Is there insurance for vandalism?

Answer

Thanks for your question! Vandalism is typically covered by comprehensive coverage if you have it on your policy. So if you only have the minimum liability coverage required for your vehicle, you’ll have to pay for the damage out of pocket.
