2 . What Is Collision Coverage?

Collision coverage is a type of coverage that can insure a driver against any damage that happens to their vehicle in certain instances. These instances would include an accident that results in the turning over of the vehicle, colliding with anything, or even hitting an animal that causes damage to the car. The cost of having collision coverage is typically around twice as much as comprehensive coverage. There is usually a higher deductible with collision coverage, as well. Some people elect not to purchase this type of insurance, but in many instances it is recommended.

This type of insurance coverage is made to pay for any repairs or even the replacement of a vehicle on the policy owner's car in case an accident happens. These insurance coverage types will cover damages no matter who was at fault in the accident. After the deductible is paid, the collision coverage will kick in, and the insurance company will pay the rest of the bill. Having collision coverage may also be required when getting a new car loan.

3 . Who Should Purchase Collision Coverage?

There are many reasons why one should purchase collision coverage on their vehicle. Many drivers do not want to pay the extra money to have collision coverage on their vehicle, because this type of car insurance coverage usually costs around twice as much to obtain. But there are many instances when having collision insurance on your vehicle is definitely recommended.

If the vehicle you are driving is a new one, and you have a loan through a bank or a company, you are probably required by law to have collision coverage. This protects the financial interest of the lender in case the vehicle is in an accident. Even if you do not have a loan - for example, you have purchased the vehicle outright, it is a good idea to have collision on a new car. A car accident can easily cost thousands of dollars, and not having the proper insurance can mean paying much more money out of your pocket.

Even if you are driving a vehicle that you are making no payments on, collision coverage may be best for you. That way, you are covered in the event of a serious accident. The extra peace of mind you receive may be worth the extra money you pay each month for collision coverage.

4 . Three Types Of Collision Coverage

There may be three basic types of collision coverage available for purchase when one buys car insurance coverage. There is limited, standard, and broad collision insurance.

Broad collision coverage is the best collision coverage you can choose, so it may also be the most expensive. This coverage will pay for any damage that has been caused to your vehicle, no matter who caused the accident. This coverage is sold with a deductible at all times. The owner of this insurance will only have to pay the deductible, if they are proven to be more than 50% responsible for the accident. If your deductible is higher than $100, your coverage costs will be lower.

Standard collision coverage will also pay for any damage that was done to a vehicle no matter who has caused the accident. Again, this coverage has a deductible. You can get a deductible starting at $100, but to lower your monthly insurance costs, you can purchase a higher deductible rate.

The third car insurance coverage type for collision is limited collision. This type of collision coverage will only pay for damage if the insured driver of the car isn’t more than 50% at fault in the accident. This type of coverage may be purchased without buying a deductible. This type of coverage is also the lowest cost of all three.
