To help ensure the highest levels of protection on the roads of Temecula, Riverside, and beyond, Hello Subaru of Temecula breaks down what you need to know about comprehensive insurance coverage.
Let’s start by answering the question, “What is comprehensive coverage?” This type of insurance policy pays, up to the policy’s limits, for damage to your vehicle incurred by covered events that are not caused by vehicle collision. For instance, a vehicle that has been lost, stolen, vandalized, or hit by a falling object will typically be covered by a comprehensive policy.
So, just what does comprehensive insurance cover? Here are some commonly covered events:
Bear in mind that covered events differ between providers and policies. Be sure to check the fine print so you understand what is and isn’t covered by your plan.
Now that you can answer the question, “What does comprehensive auto insurance cover?”, you’re likely wondering how the process works. This is a general overview of the steps involved:
Both comprehensive and collision are designed to keep your financial losses to a minimum after your vehicle has been damaged. However, collision only covers damage from car accidents. Comprehensive covers damage from non-collision events. One type of incident that can easily blur the lines between the two is a run-in with an animal. For example, if you were driving on Escondido roads and hit an animal, resulting in damage to your vehicle, it is often covered under your comprehensive policy. However, if you swerve to avoid the animal and hit a tree or object, or if you swerve after hitting the animal and then hit a tree or object, the incident is often resolved by filing a collision claim.
