So close to home, in fact, some car owners experience accidents in their very own driveway. You will want to be covered for any type of damage your car could sustain in any situation.

Why do you need more than the minimum amount of car insurance required?

You rush outside only to see your driver’s side window in a million pieces on the asphalt and the neighbor boy scratching his head in confusion with baseball bat in hand. Yes, it was an accident but who should pay?

• A car insurance policy with comprehensive coverage will cover this type of damage as well as damage sustained from falling objects, backing into a vehicle in your driveway, backing into a mailbox as well as other types of damage and loss that can occur with your car sitting quietly in the driveway.
