Collision coverage will help to repair or replace a vehicle if loss occurs due to collision with an object or a person. If you are driving and an accident occurs that is your fault, collision is the only coverage that will serve to help with the repairs on your vehicle.
If another driver is at fault, but they are uninsured and they don’t have the funds to pay for the repairs to your vehicle, collision coverage again is the only thing you can rely on for help.
Comprehensive covers loss associated with a vehicle for reasons other than collision. Loss due to theft, vandalism, flood, fire, or falling objects would be covered by comprehensive. Windshield damage and collision with an animal are also examples of claims under this coverage.
No insurance company is going to pay more to repair a vehicle than what it is worth, unless the policy contains special provisions.
Most insurance companies require loss deductibles on physical damage coverage.
