Comprehensive Coverage
/kom-prih-HEN-siv KUV-uh-rij/
Insurance for non-collision damage like theft or weather.
Definition
Comprehensive coverage (often called 'other than collision') pays for damage to your vehicle from non-collision events. This includes theft, vandalism, fire, natural disasters, falling objects, and animal collisions. It also has a deductible that you pay before coverage kicks in.
Example
When a tree fell on Rachel's car during a storm, comprehensive coverage paid for the repairs.
