No coverage for your car in terms of damage.

"Full coverage" = Liability + comprehensive + collision. You get the liability coverage (at atleast the state mandated minimum) plus coverage for your car in the event of a collision, and in the event of fire/theft/vandalism..etc.

No state that i know of mandates you have comprehensive + collision, they only mandate that you have liability insurance and at a state-mandated level. So full coverage is actually at least the min. state mandated coverage + collision + comprehensive.
The term "full coverage" is not representative of how much one is actually paying for insurance if you don't also list your coverage limits, and is in fact a misleading name because there are collision scenarios in which what you would call "full coverage" does not actually fully cover all claims against you. Therefore, the term doesn't actually mean anything of substance other than an effervescent title given to a class of insurance policies with no tie to real world situations.

thanks for that info, reminded me what I have, but to just add to what you said, I think most insurance companies want some sort of full coverage if the car is still being paid off

Im sure the guy who crashed his GTR lied to the insurance agent when he called in his claim, we are all paying for dumbasses like these on the roads, just here in GA I passed a used car dealer on a bend, some idiot had to be doing over a 100 to lose it at the end and smash 3 used cars

I hope his rates double after the car is fixed
