Collision coverage helps pay to repair or replace your vehicle after an accident with another car or object, minus your deductible. It’s commonly included in full coverage policies.

What collision coverage typically covers

  • Accidents with another vehicle
  • Single-car accidents (guardrail, pole, etc.)
  • Rollover damage (often)
  • Pothole-related damage (in some cases)

When collision coverage makes sense

  • Your vehicle is newer or high value
  • You have a loan/lease (often required)
  • You can’t afford to replace the car out-of-pocket

How to lower collision costs

  • Compare quotes across insurers
  • Raise collision deductible (if affordable)
  • Re-evaluate collision for low-value, paid-off vehicles
