Should You Purchase Collision Insurance for a Car Over 15 Years Old?
1 Answers
Cars over 15 years old cannot purchase collision insurance. Generally, private vehicles over 8 years old are not insured, and very few insurance companies will cover cars over 10 years old. Even if coverage is provided, compensation is paid on a proportional basis. Below is additional information: 1. Collision Insurance: Collision insurance is a type of commercial auto insurance. It stipulates that when the insured or an authorized driver causes damage to the insured vehicle during an accident while driving, the insurance company should provide compensation within reasonable limits. 2. Coverage Scope: Collision, overturning, or falling; fire, explosion, spontaneous combustion (requires separate spontaneous combustion insurance); falling or collapsing external objects; storms, tornadoes; lightning strikes, hail, heavy rain, floods, tsunamis; ground collapse, ice collapse, cliff collapse, avalanches, mudslides, landslides; natural disasters affecting ferries transporting the insured vehicle (limited to cases where the driver is accompanying the vehicle); necessary and reasonable rescue expenses.
