What is *Full Coverage Car Insurance? Full Coverage is Liability + Comprehensive/Collision. This typically protects you, and your vehicle, and what you may be legally liable for.
How is this different from Liability-Only Car Insurance? Liability only pays for any damages or bodily injuries that you may cause – up to the liability limits of course. It does NOT cover you or your vehicle.
Full Coverage is usually recommended for newer vehicles, sometimes even required if you have a lienholder or are financing. This is because Collision will protect your vehicle if your involved in a collision with another vehicle or object, while Comprehensive covers non-collision incidents such as theft and natural disasters.
For example:
Let’s say you have full coverage car insurance and you get into an accident where you’re deemed at fault and your vehicle has a considerable amount of damage. Here’s how each aspect of your full coverage insurance might take effect:
Liability – Your liability coverage would help pay for any bodily injuries or property damage you caused to other people in the accident, such as damage to another person’s vehicle or medical expenses that may have occurred.
Collision – Your collision coverage would help pay for any repairs to your own vehicle, even though you were at fault for the accident. Most likely, you may have a deductible that need’s to be paid before your insurance kicks in to cover the rest of the repairs. Most deductibles are between $500-$1,000 depending on what you chose.
Comprehensive – If your car was damaged by something other than a collision, such as a fallen tree or animal, your comprehensive coverage would help pay for the restoration. Again, you may need to pay a deductible before your insurance kicks in.
Insurance Policy
*It’s important to note that Full Coverage does not include Roadside Assistance, Towing, and/or Rental Expenses. These are separate coverages that can be added onto any full coverage policy for an additional price.

I used to think they were a scam, why go thru a 3rd party when you should be able to get a cheaper rate directly from the source right? WRONG! They have the experience and knowledge of navigating the insurance "system." I had already spent a total of 2-days, 3 + hours dealing with Geico and Amica trying to shop around, 150 questions later I still didn't have a reasonable rate! I was left wondering, "What did I answer wrong? Which one of those questions that I answered ended up screwing me? Why do other people get good rates and I seem to be failing the good-rate-pop-quiz!?" This morning I decided to call A Plus insurance since they had such a high rating and 33 min later Jola had already texted my ID cards!! And she beat both Geico and Amica's rates by a long shot! I'm including a screenshot of my call times showing the actual timer on the call to Jola. The other 2 calls in there were made because I hadn't looked over the document properly while Jola had me on the phone and asked me if everything was correct, so had to call her back cause my name was misspelled but that was my fault for not reviewing it properly and she was awesome in correcting it quickly, it took me 2 tries only cause I pressed 1 by mistake lol. About 2 hours after our conversation Jola called me back just to let me know she was able to obtain the proof she needed to validate my homeowners discount thru the County office, not to worry. I realized right then that she was still working on my account! Which tells me that if I had gone thru the insurance company directly like I did before, I would probably still be trying to gather documents and spending all that time wasting and gathering info for them. Now that I know, I will never deal with insurance companies directly again! Thank you so much Jola for saving my weekend and saving my family money! 😍read less
