Question

Will comprehensive insurance cover damages caused by road debris?

I have full coverage through Geico. I was driving when something flew out of a random vehicle in front of me. I don’t have the money for the deductible, but I’ve read into comprehensive and see that it covers some of these claims. What should I do?

Sorry to hear about your accident. If you have comprehensive coverage, it should cover any damages caused by debris. However, just like collision coverage, it will usually have a deductible. I would suggest using our claims calculator to see if it's worth filing a claim or simply paying for the damage out of pocket. If you're still unsure, check with your agent to see what deductibles will apply.

No, in Georgia you don't have to keep car insurance for a vehicle that you are no longer driving, but you will more than likely be required to cancel the vehicle's registration.
