What Is Physical Damage Coverage?

Physical damage insurance is an auto insurance policy part which covers damage to only your own vehicle. Unlike liability coverage, which works if you damage someone else’s property, this protects your car by repairing or even replacing it. Think of it this way: Liability insurance is there when you accidentally damage someone’s car, but physical damage insurance is your back-up when your car becomes the victim. There are two main types of physical damage components:

• Collision Coverage – Covers collision-related damage to your vehicle, regardless of who is at fault.
• Comprehensive Coverage – Includes non-collision events such as falling items, theft, vandalism, natural calamities, and animal strikes.

If you’re leasing or financing your vehicle, this coverage is often required by your lender.

What’s Covered in Physical Damage Insurance

With Guardian Ridge, our physical damage coverage includes protection from:

• Accidents and Collisions – Whether it’s a fender bender or a total loss
• Vandalism or Theft – Including vehicle break-ins and stolen parts
• Weather-related Damage – Hailstorms, floods, wildfires, and wind damage
• Animal Collisions – Such as deer or stray animal impacts
• Falling Objects – Trees, poles, and debris that damage your vehicle
• Glass and Windshield Repair – Often included or available as an add-on
• Optional Coverage: Rental car reimbursement, towing, and roadside assistance

What’s Not Covered

Physical damage insurance does not cover:

• Routine wear and tear
• Mechanical or electrical breakdowns
• Damage to another person’s vehicle
• Medical bills (you’ll need PIP or MedPay for that)

To complete your protection, consider bundling with liability coverage, uninsured motorist coverage, and medical payments coverage.

Why It Matters

Physical damage coverage helps you avoid expensive repair or replacement costs and ensures you stay mobile, even after the unexpected.

• Protect Your Investment – Cars are costly. Insurance can help you recover value if your vehicle is damaged or totaled.
• Avoid Financial Setbacks – You may have to pay thousands of dollars out of pocket for repairs if you don’t have coverage.
• Meet Loan or Lease Requirements – If you’re still paying for your vehicle, lenders typically require physical damage coverage.
• Peace of Mind – Drive confidently knowing you’re covered in more than just liability situations.
