Collision coverage refers to protection for your car when it is involved in a crash with another vehicle or a stationary object. Most car crashes and auto accidents fall under this kind of insurance coverage. The types of damages include crashing into another vehicle, another vehicle colliding with yours, or ramming into a street light, pole, or some other stationary object. It'll cover the cost of repairs or replacements to your own car (liability coverage and insurance takes care of damages to other people's property).

Rental coverage pays for the cost of a rental car when you need a rental car because of an event covered by your policy. For example, if you’re in a wreck and need a rental, then the policy would pay for a rental. But if you need a rental because your car has mechanical issues, the rental coverage wouldn’t likely apply in that situation. Rental is a suplemental coverage that must be requested and there is a limit of up to $25 a day and a maximum of $750 per occurrence depending on the coverage purchased.

Towing coverage will reimburse you for towing charges that are incurred when you can’t drive your car. Coverage will reimburse up to $40 per disablement.
