comprehensive coverage


Explanation:
Comprehensive coverage covers damage to your automobile that was not the result of an accident. Fire,theft, and vandalism, are example of this. Again, there is usually a deductible associated with this coverage.
The higher the deductible, the lower the cost of the coverage. Additionally, personal property left inside the
car is also covered. If your car is stolen, this coverage pays for the loss. If you have installed expensive add
in features to your car, you may have to take out riders to cover the additionally installed components.

agree  Roman P: in the UK at least, there are three levels of motor insurance coverage - Third party only (which is mandatory), Third Party, Fire and Theft and fully comprehensive, that covers your own stupidity as well as accidents.

Explanation:
What do you make of the following definition of comprehensive:

"A term describing a policy which brings together a number of different types of cover in one document (eg a private car comprehensive policy has sections providing material damage cover, third party cover, personal accident cover, medical expenses, etc."

In Poland, each of those components has a separate name, "AC" being one of them.
