When to Drop Collision Coverage From Your Auto Insurance

Here is an excerpt from a new blog post at GreggMarcus.com:

This is a question that Gregg S. Marcus, a Long Island Insurance Executive  hears a lot when quoting automotive insurance. Relative to the cost of other liability or comprehensive auto insurance coverage, collision coverage can be expensive.

According to the American Insurance Institute, collision coverage pays for damage to your car resulting from a collision with another vehicle, object or as a result of flipping over. Damages from potholes are also covered by collision. It is basically “physical damage” coverage for your own vehicle. Collision does not include any bodily injury or damage done to a human being. It also does not cover damage done to someone else’s car by your vehicle. The most important factor when deciding whether to drop collision coverage is the replacement value of your car. Depending on the value, it may not make sense to pay to fix it.
