Difference Between Collision and Comprehensive Auto Insurance

Reader’s Question:

I don’t have a car because I am unable to drive because of my disability so I don’t know anything about car insurance, honestly. But I do plan to buy a car insurance policy for my sister here in Spring Valley, Nevada. I heard several kinds of insurance coverage like comprehensive and collision, what is the difference?

Comprehensive car insurance coverage is a very good policy most especially if you want to have coverage against the ‘acts of God’ or car crashes. The so-called ‘acts of God’ include natural disasters, flood, fire and anything that is beyond the motorist’s control. This kind of policy is common on automobiles that are only a few years old or those which are bought with the aid of loans. A lot of lenders would insist on comprehensive car insurance for protection on their assets. But if the loan is paid back, the driver could make a decision to keep the policy or not.

Collision car insurance coverage is meant for accidents that involve another automobile or an object at rest like light posts. This type of coverage would provide a way for the car owner to repair the automobile and could not dish out more benefits. A lot of areas require a minimum amount of collision car insurance so it is necessary to know if Spring Valley, Nevada is one of these areas. If your sister’s car is new enough to compensate from collision car insurance, then you must probably keep at least some type of the coverage if not all of it.
