Automobile insurance, in most cases, does not cover mechanical breakdown. If your car is not worth repairing from a mechanical breakdown and you are able to replace it within a few weeks to a month I would suggest keeping your insurance policy active. This is to avoid having a lapse in insurance coverage which could result in higher insurance premiums when you get another car.

AnswerYour car breaking down, and your car being totalled are 2 separate considerations. If your car mechanically breaks down, there is no coverage. If the car has been totaled in an accident, there may be coverage. I guess, more specific info is needed.
