Additional car insurance coverages to consider
In additional to Colorado's required coverages, most car leases and loans require you to carry comprehensive auto coverage and auto collision coverage. Comprehensive and collision pay to repair or replace your car regardless of fault, if it's in an accident, gets stolen, or is otherwise damaged in a covered accident. It also makes sense to add these physical damage coverages if you're not sure you could afford a new car or major repairs after an accident you're responsible for.
