Collision car insurance
is designed to protect you and your vehicle in the event of an accident.
If you get into an accident with an object or another driver, collision will pay for your repairs, minus a deductible.
Comprehensive car insurance
, on the other hand, protects your vehicle from damages arising from sources other than a collision.

  • natural disaster
  • theft
  • fallen objects
  • vandalism”
