What Is Full Coverage Car Insurance Insurance?

Full coverage car insurance is not a single policy type but a package combining three core coverages: liability (required in Maryland), collision, and comprehensive. Liability pays for damage you cause to others. Collision covers your vehicle after an accident regardless of fault. Comprehensive covers non-collision damage like theft, hail, fire, or hitting a deer. Together, these three protect you financially whether you cause an accident, someone else causes one, or your car is damaged while parked.

  • An uninsured driver runs a stop sign and totals your car. Their lack of insurance means you cannot recover from them. Your collision coverage pays to replace your vehicle minus your deductible. If you carry uninsured motorist coverage, it may also cover your medical bills and lost wages. Liability-only policies leave you with no vehicle reimbursement.

Who Needs Full Coverage Car Insurance Insurance?

Lenders require collision and comprehensive until the loan is paid off.

Compare your annual collision and comprehensive premiums to your car's current value.

How Much Does Full Coverage Car Insurance Insurance Cost?

  • Vehicle value and age — newer cars cost more to insure because replacement costs are higher.
  • Your ZIP code — urban areas like Baltimore see higher rates due to theft and accident frequency.
  • Driving record — at-fault accidents in the past three years increase collision premiums significantly.
  • Credit-based insurance score — Maryland allows insurers to use credit history in pricing.
  • Annual mileage — drivers logging over 15,000 miles per year pay more for collision coverage.
