Property Damage Liability
This is required by the State and is part of the State Minimum Liability coverage that we offer. If you cause an accident and there are damages to other vehicles, Property Damage Liability covers the repair expenses up to the limit on the policy. -
Collision/Comprehensive
This is not required by the State and is sometimes referred to as “Full Coverage.” If you cause an accident that requires repairs to your vehicle, Collision/Comprehensive covers the damages in excess of your deductible. For example, if you cause an accident and your vehicle requires $5,000 in repairs and your deductible is $1,000, the insurance company pays $4,000 and you pay the $1,000 deductible. Individuals who are still paying off their vehicles normally have this coverage. Within these coverages, you are also covered for things such as your car being stolen or a light pole falling on your car when it’s parked at night. -

In the event that your car breaks down, runs out of gas or the battery dies, Roadside Assistance will be there to help. The coverage protects you up to $100 per incident.
