An Uninsured car has no insurance. Your liability coverage may follow you to it if it is a replacement vehicle but would not cover damage to the uninsured vehicle.

When is it best to drop collision and comp auto ins?
When you own the car free and clear and know you will be able to repair or replace the car without insurance if there is a loss, or when you know you don't really need the car or the value of it if you no longer have it or the use of it due to a loss. Note also that you can drop Collision but still carry Comprehensive, and if you hit an animal, that would normally fall under Comprehensive rather than Collision. Since Collision is normally much more expensive than Comprehensive, this is worth considering if you're a safe driver and not likely to have an at fault collision. With this option it's even more important to carry Uninsured/Underinsured Motorists coverage.

Does GAP Insurance cover uninsured vehicles in a wreck?
How can you have GAP insurance on an uninsured car? You have to have a basic policy to add this. actually the terms of my GAP insurance stipulate coverage of a total loss even without primary coverage. that surprised me, but it states "if there is no primary insurance at the time of loss, actual cash value shall mean the retail value of the vehicle...". this raises some interesting issues about not carrying collision, but as GAP only covers the difference between book value and loan balance under the condition of a total, and in NJ at least, to have a car loan you must carry collision, the point seems rather moot. maybe other states don't require collision with a car loan [but I doubt it]...in any event, GAP wouldn't cover anything less than a total loss. A little twist to your question. What is the answer to the following question. Does GAP Insurance cover insured vehicles (comprehensive) in a total wreck, when the claim is denied?
Coverage To Drive?
If you are driving a car in the state of Illinois, then you need to carry insurance on the vehicle. Uninsured motorists can get insurance at affordable rates if they know where to look. There is a minimum amount of coverage that the driver needs to have on their insurance. This amount is not high so that drivers can get insurance coverage at an affordable rate. However, if a driver wants to take a risk and let someone else drive their car, they need to carry uninsured motorist insurance on their policy. The minimum amount for this coverage is $20,000. This covers the driver of the car if they were in an accident and were not covered under an insurance policy. In the event of a car accident and the driver of your car or the other car were not covered under their own insurance policy, the uninsured motorist coverage would protect not only yourself but the other drivers in the accident. The coverage will pay for any medical necessities that are incurred during the accident and any wages that are lost. The coverage will only pay up to the amount that you have on your insurance policy. Anything over this amount will be the responsibility of the driver. If the accident was the fault of the other driver, then their insurance will cover up to the amount listed on their policy and then your insurance will cover the remaining amount. An uninsured policy is different than an underinsured policy. An underinsured driver has insurance, but they may not have enough coverage to pay for the expenses if the driver were in an accident. An uninsured motorist has no insurance at all. The only way that an uninsured motorist can usually drive a vehicle is if there is a family member who has taken out the uninsured motorist coverage on their insurance. An uninsured policy is not expensive to get, but it would be best for the driver to obtain their own policy as soon as possible.
