Collision insurance covers damage to your from colliding with an object or car. You first must pay a deductible then the remaining damage will be paid by your insurance company. This coverage can be expensive, so analyze the benefit of dropping coverage from older vehicles. It's also possible to raise the deductible in order to get cheaper .

Comprehensive auto insurance

This pays to fix your vehicle from damage that is not covered by collision coverage. You first must pay your deductible and then insurance will cover the rest of the damage. The highest amount you can receive from a comprehensive claim is the cash value of the vehicle, so if the vehicle's value is low it's probably time to drop comprehensive insurance.

Uninsured or underinsured coverage

This protects you and your vehicle from other motorists when they either are underinsured or have no liability coverage at all. Since many drivers have only the minimum liability required by law, their liability coverage can quickly be exhausted. This is the reason having UM/UIM coverage is very important.

Coverage for medical expenses

Coverage for medical payments and/or PIP kick in for expenses such as doctor visits, EMT expenses, and X-ray expenses. They are used to cover expenses not covered by your health insurance policy or if you are not covered by health insurance. PIP coverage is not an option in every state but it provides additional coverages not offered by medical payments coverage.
