Comprehensive Coverage/Collision Coverage

COMPREHENSIVE (also known as comp or other than collision) and COLLISION coverage are not required by law, but may be required under the terms of an automobile leasing or financing contract.

Collision coverage pays you for damage that you cause to your automobile. You can also make a claim under your own collision coverage for damage to your car from an auto accident you did not cause. This may take less time than making a property damage liability claim against the driver who caused the auto accident. Your insurer then seeks reimbursement (subrogation) from the insurer of the driver who caused the auto accident.

Comprehensive coverage pays you if your automobile is stolen or for damage to your automobile caused by things not covered under collision coverage, such as vandalism, flooding, fire, a broken windshield or damage from an animal.

	Comprehensive and Collision Coverage are available as options of the STANDARD POLICY. NJRe offers these options in the BASIC POLICY.

DEDUCTIBLE — The STANDARD deductible for comprehensive and collision coverage is $750. Higher and lower deductibles are available as options. Higher deductibles can reduce your premium.

NAMED DRIVER EXCLUSION — Prevents certain drivers on your policy from being covered by collision and/or comprehensive coverage on a specific automobile. This can lower your premium, but if the excluded driver operates the automobile and is involved in an auto accident, you are not insured for collision and/or comprehensive coverage; which means you could be personally responsible.
