Collision coverage protects against claims like colliding with a tree, hitting a parking meter and damaging your car on a curb. This coverage can be expensive, so consider dropping it from vehicles that are older. Another option is to choose a higher deductible to bring the cost down.
Uninsured or Underinsured Motorist coverage gives you protection when the “other guys” either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Covered losses include medical payments for you and your occupants as well as your vehicle’s damage.
Because many people carry very low liability coverage limits, it only takes a small accident to exceed their coverage. That’s why carrying high Uninsured/Underinsured Motorist coverage is very important. Normally these coverages are similar to your liability insurance amounts.

Occasionally you may see one number which is a combined single limit which limits claims to one amount and claims can be made without the split limit restrictions.
Liability can pay for things like bail bonds, legal defense fees, medical services and repair costs for stationary objects. How much liability should you purchase? That is up to you, but consider buying as high a limit as you can afford.

Comprehensive can pay for things like vandalism, damage from a tornado or hurricane, a tree branch falling on your vehicle and damage from flooding. The maximum payout a insurance company will pay at claim time is the ACV or actual cash value, so if it’s not worth much more than your deductible it’s not worth carrying full coverage.
