Collision Insurance

Auto coverage that pays to repair or replace your own vehicle after an accident, regardless of who was at fault. Collision coverage is optional unless you have a car loan or lease, in which case your lender usually requires it. It comes with a deductible you pay before the insurer covers the rest.
