Frequently Asked Questions About Car Insurance

Common policy questions, coverage benchmarks, and companion decision tools.

What is the difference between Collision and Comprehensive auto coverage?
Collision covers vehicular damage resulting from a crash with another car, guardrail, or object. Comprehensive covers physical damage from non-collision perils including theft, vandalism, windshield cracks, hail, falling trees, and hitting an animal. Read our head-to-head analysis in Collision vs Comprehensive Comparison.
Why are state minimum auto insurance liability limits dangerous?
Most state minimums (e.g., 25/50/25) only provide $25,000 of property damage liability—far less than the cost of a typical new vehicle. If you cause a serious crash, you are personally liable for damages exceeding your limits. Explore our Car Insurance Estimator and read our case study on Rahul's Car Accident Liability.
