Comprehensive Coverage
Insurance Glossary
Auto coverage for damage to the insured vehicle from causes other than a collision, such as theft, fire, hail, vandalism and animal strikes. Many policies call it other than collision coverage, and it carries its own deductible separate from the collision deductible. Glass claims are sometimes handled under a lower or waived deductible depending on the state and the policy.
