What is Comprehensive Insurance?

Comprehensive insurance coverage is defined as optional coverage that covers damage to your vehicle driven by non-collision events that are outside of your control.

This include:

  • Vandalism,
  • Theft,
  • Fire,
  • Accidents with animals,
  • Weather,
  • Glass and windshield damage,
  • or other acts of nature.

Though often referred to as “comprehensive insurance,” comprehensive coverage refers to a specific coverage on an existing policy, not a particular type of insurance. For example, lenders may require you to have comprehensive when you finance or lease a vehicle.

Comprehensive coverage helps cover the expense of damages to your vehicle when you are involved in an accident that’s not driven by a collision. In addition, comprehensive coverage covers losses like hail, theft, vandalism, and hitting an animal.
