Collision and comprehensive coverage are your car’s besties for repair costs from accidents and protection from non-collision events, but reconsider if costs exceed car value. Before finalizing your policy, pump up the protection with additional coverages like uninsured motorist, MedPay, or PIP if they fit your needs, and set the right deductible to control premium costs.
