What if I finance a car in New York?

To finance a car in New York, it is usually necessary to have insurance that covers damage to your vehicle. This includes:

Collision Insurance

Collision insurance coverage pays for damages to your car from accidents involving other cars or objects. Standard collision coverage will pay for any repairs up to the fair market value of your car and usually comes with an insurance deductible (the amount of money you pay toward repairs before your collision insurance kicks in). The higher the deductible you’re willing to pay, the less your collision coverage will cost.

Comprehensive Insurance (Other than Collision)

Comprehensive insurance covers damages to your that were not a result of collision, like if your car were stolen or vandalized. Flood, hurricane, theft, windshield damage and fire are also events usually covered by comprehensive car insurance. Like collision, comprehensive will pay up to the fair market value of your car (less your insurance deductible). Although, comprehensive coverage is not legally required by New York, you will probably need it if your car is financed.
