What Auto Insurance Usually Doesn't Cover

  • Personal Belongings. Comprehensive insurance will cover the damages to your car if it’s stolen or vandalized, but not any items inside the car. Normally this will be covered under your homeowners or renters insurance policy.
  • Individuals not on the policy that live with you. Generally car insurance will only cover individuals on the policy and those who don’t live with you that have permission to use the car.
  • Car Loan for Totaled Vehicle. Collision and Comprehensive insurance will cover your car’s market value minus your deductible. So if your car is worth less than you owe, you will need to make up the difference. Gap Insurance can be used to mitigate this risk.
  • Custom Parts and Equipment. If your car is damaged or stolen, car insurance will not cover the cost of custom add-ons. However, many policies offer an optional policy to cover this.
  • Business Use. If you use your car for business purposes such as Uber or pizza delivery, you will need to purchase a commercial auto policy since these are excluded under most personal policies.
