Collision coverage will pay for the repairs to your own vehicle if you are the one who is at fault in the accident. (Ideally, if the other party is at fault in the accident, their property damage liability insurance will pay for the repairs to your car.) Collision coverage is usually the most expensive type of auto insurance. Before choosing this kind of coverage, assess the value of your car to make sure it is worth the amount you will be paying in premiums. The insurance company will usually give you only the actual cash value of your car and not the amount that you will have to spend to replace your car. If you have an older car that does not have a very high actual value, it will probably not be worth it for you to carry this kind of coverage.
