What are some disadvantages to not having full coverage for my Nissan Sentra?
"Is state minimum required insurance enough? I've heard people talk about full coverage, but I only have the state minimum requirements for my vehicle."
Sophie Newman · Updated on
Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
“While it’s legal to drive as long as you meet the
state minimum car insurance
requirements, you may be putting your vehicle at risk by not having full coverage. If you’re missing
collision car insurance
, you won’t have protection for your own vehicle in the case of an accident. Comprehensive car insurance
protects against damages caused by sources like:- natural disaster
- fire
- theft
If you don’t want to risk paying out-of-pocket for your repairs or even replacing your vehicle, you may want to consider full coverage.”
