What Does Full Coverage Car Insurance Cover?
A full coverage auto insurance policy can include these options:
- Bodily Injury Liability: This coverage helps pay for injuries you may cause another person while driving.
- Personal Injury Protection (PIP): PIP helps pay for medical expenses and occasionally other damages after an accident no matter who’s at fault.
- Comprehensive Coverage: This coverage helps pay for damage to your car that occurs from incidents besides collision. This includes fire, theft, hail, wind and falling trees.
- Collision Coverage: This coverage helps pay for damage to your car that occurs as a result of collision with a car or object.
- Full Coverage vs. Liability Coverage: Full coverage insurance provides comprehensive protection for your vehicle, encompassing not only liability but also collision, theft, and other damages, while liability coverage only pays for the damages you cause to others in an accident.
- Uninsured motorist coverage: Uninsured motorist coverage is a type of auto insurance that provides financial protection to a policyholder in the event of an accident caused by a driver who lacks insurance.
- Medical Payments Coverage: Medical Payments Coverage, often included in auto insurance policies, provides reimbursement for medical expenses incurred by you and your passengers as a result of a car accident, regardless of who was at fault.
- Gap insurance: Gap insurance is a type of auto insurance that covers the difference between the actual cash value of a vehicle and the amount still owed on a car loan in case of theft or total loss.
- Physical Damage Insurance: Physical damage insurance is a type of insurance may help cover the costs of repairing or replacing your vehicle if it suffers damage from various situations.
