Local risks in New York City

Heavy traffic means more fender-benders; collision coverage pays to repair your own car no matter who caused it.

Winter storms raise the chance of sliding crashes; collision coverage and roadside assistance are worth considering.

Busy truck routes near the port mean sharing the road with heavy vehicles; liability limits above the minimum add protection.

Street flooding can total a car; only comprehensive coverage pays for flood damage.

Comprehensive and collision

The state minimum does not repair your own car. Collision pays for crash damage to your vehicle and comprehensive pays for theft, hail, flood, fire and animal strikes. If your car is financed or leased, the lender almost always requires both.
