If we average all the age groups together, physical damage coverage costs an additional $1,275 per year more than just buying liability insurance. At some point, almost every driver questions if it’s a good idea to buy full coverage. There is no definitive formula for excluding comprehensive and collision coverage on your policy, but there is a guideline you can consider. If the annual cost of having full coverage is more than around 10% of any settlement you would receive from your insurance company, then you might want to think about dropping full coverage.
There are some cases where buying only liability insurance is not recommended. If you still owe a portion of the original loan, you have to maintain full coverage in order to keep the loan. Also, if you don’t have enough money to buy a different vehicle if your current one is damaged, you should keep full coverage in place.
