Comprehensive Insurance
Auto coverage that pays for damage to your vehicle caused by events other than a collision, such as theft, vandalism, hail, floods, or hitting an animal. Like collision, it is optional unless required by a lender and comes with a deductible.
Real-World Example
When a tree branch fell on Jessica's car during a storm, her comprehensive insurance covered the $4,200 in damage after her $250 deductible.
