This is a general description; your policy or your insurance agent will be able to provide exact definitions of what is and isn't covered. Collision coverage means exactly what it says. It covers the cost to repair or replace your vehicle when it is moving and involved in a crash: colliding with another vehicle, hitting a stationary object, etc. Comprehensive covers most of the remaining ways your vehicle can get damaged: A tree falling on your vehicle, hail damage, flood damage, vandalism, someone crashing into your parked vehicle, etc.

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.
