What is Collision Coverage – Must Watch Video

Collision coverage is one coverage that you're not legally required to have, but several savvy people find it extremely valuable. Many states require at the very least a minimal amount of coverage to protect the other drivers from bodily injury or property damage you might cause them while driving.

Many drivers are convinced they'll never wreck their own vehicle, or that they'll never be involved in an accident. Sadly, when you analyze the data pertaining to how many collisions occur each year, this simply isn't true. This type of auto coverage is something to think about. It could be the right choice for you if paying to take a dent out after an accident would be financially difficult, but paying for coverage would not be.
