What Is Full Coverage Car Insurance Insurance?
Full coverage combines three protection layers: liability coverage pays for damage you cause to others, collision coverage repairs your vehicle after an accident regardless of fault, and comprehensive coverage handles non-collision damage like theft, hail, fire, and animal strikes. The term 'full coverage' is industry shorthand, not a policy type — you're buying liability plus the two physical-damage coverages together. Most lenders require full coverage on financed and leased vehicles because the car secures the loan, and they need assurance repairs will be funded if the vehicle is damaged.
Who Needs Full Coverage Car Insurance Insurance?
Full coverage is required if you finance or lease your vehicle — the lender holds a lien and mandates collision and comprehensive to protect their interest. Drivers in areas with high deer-strike rates, frequent hail, or vehicle theft benefit from comprehensive coverage even on older cars.
Calculate your car's current value using Kelley Blue Book or a similar tool, then compare that figure to one year of collision and comprehensive premiums plus your deductible. Keep full coverage if losing the car would prevent you from getting to work or meeting family obligations — the financial disruption cost often exceeds the vehicle's cash value.
How Much Does Full Coverage Car Insurance Insurance Cost?
- Vehicle value — newer and more expensive vehicles cost more to insure because collision and comprehensive claims pay actual cash value up to the car's worth.
- Driving record — at-fault accidents and speeding tickets raise full coverage rates more than liability-only rates because insurers price in the higher likelihood of a collision claim.
- Credit-based insurance score — Wyoming allows insurers to use credit history in pricing, and full coverage premiums are more sensitive to credit scores than liability premiums.
