What Is Comprehensive Auto Coverage and Do You Really Need It? 

When it comes to insuring your vehicle, understanding your auto insurance options is important. At Lancaster Insurance Agency, we believe it’s important for our clients to understand their car insurance options.

What Does It Cover?

Comprehensive coverage can help pay for repairs if your vehicle is damaged by a non-collision event. Depending on your insurer, covered risks can include:

• Animal collisions
• Falling objects
• Fire
• Natural disasters
• Theft
• Vandalism

Who Should Consider Comprehensive Coverage?

While comprehensive insurance isn’t required by Indiana law, it may be required by your lender if you have a loan or lease on your vehicle. Even if it’s not mandatory, you may want to consider this coverage, especially if:

• Your vehicle is newer or has significant value
• You park outside or in areas prone to theft or severe weather
• You want financial protection from unpredictable events beyond your control

What Are Some Factors I Need to Consider?

When deciding if comprehensive insurance is right for you, consider the value of your vehicle, your budget and your risk tolerance. If your car is older or worth less, you may decide the extra coverage isn’t necessary. However, for many drivers, the cost of repairs or replacement after an unexpected event can far exceed the cost of adding comprehensive coverage.
