Best Answer

COMPREHENSIVE COVERAGE Auto insurance for the purpose of covering the cost of repair or replacement of the insured's car in case of damage caused by something other than an accident. Comprehensive coverage often requires the payment of a deductible when a claim is made. Comprehensive may be required to qualify for a new car loan.

It depends upon the type of damage and the cause of it; some physical damage is covered by the comprehensive coverage of an auto policy. For example, glass breakage and vandalism is normally covered by the comprehensive coverage. All of that said, collision and comprehensive coverages are generally offered and purchased in tandem. Therefore, if one does not have collision coverage, there is a good chance that there is no comprehensive coverage.


Does auto insurance cover stolen cars?

Auto insurance will cover the theft of your vehicle if you maintain comprehensive coverage. Comprehensive coverage is generally sold in conjunction with collision coverage. However, unless there exists a lender that requires collision/comprehensive coverage, it is usually not mandated by law as it is considered "first-party" coverage (designed to protect the owner only). Comprehensive coverage also applies to the theft of belongings in the vehicle if they were permanently affixed to the vehicle. For example, if you have an after- market stereo system and sub-woofer that is stolen from your vehicle, it is covered under comprehensive coverage. However, if you leave your purse in the car and it is stolen, it is not covered because it is not permanently affixed to the vehicle.
