How do I add comprehensive to my car insurance policy?

How do I add comprehensive? I want to protect my new car from damage. I will be adding my car to my existing policy, but I only have liability insurance.

Contact your carrier to add
comprehensive insurance
 to your current car insurance policy.
Since comprehensive and
collision insurance
 are optional coverages, you will have to specifically add it to your policy online or through an agent, and you can expect a rate increase to come with the extra coverage.
Pro tip: When switching up your policy, it’s always a good idea to shop around. Once you know how much it’ll cost to add comprehensive to your current policy, you can request
car insurance quotes
 with other companies and compare.
