Accidental death coverage pays a death benefit to your personal representative if you sustain injuries in a car accident that lead to your death within two years of the accident.
Comprehensive coverage can help cover damages if your vehicle is damaged by something other than a collision—for example, theft, vandalism, hitting an animal, or natural disasters like hailstorms. This type of coverage can help pay for losses or damage to permanently installed equipment, parts, and accessories installed by the original vehicle manufacturer.
True to its name, collision insurance can help cover damages when your vehicle is damaged in a collision with another vehicle or a stationary object.
This coverage helps protect certain customizations you’ve made to your vehicle. Special equipment coverage offers a maximum of $3,000 coverage, including $1,000 for stereo systems.
If you’re in an accident and your vehicle needs to spend some time in the shop, rental reimbursement coverage can help you pay for a temporary rental vehicle.
Roadside assistance provides 24-hour emergency towing and roadside service if your car is disabled due to mechanical or electrical breakdowns—such as battery failure, flat tire, or low fuel, oil, or other fluids—and lockouts.
