Collision Coverage 

Pays for damage to your vehicle if it rolls over or collides with something. Collision coverage is available in 3 forms:

 -Regular - pays for damage to your vehicle, regardless of who is at fault. You always pay the deductible.

 -Broad - pays for damage to your vehicle regardless of who is at fault, but if you are more than 50% at fault you pay the deductible.

 -Limited - pays for damage to your vehicles only if you were no more than 50% at fault.

Comprehensive Coverage 
Pays for damage to your vehicle resulting from causes other than Collision like fire, theft, or storm damage.
