While not required, these recommended coverages offer more protection for you and your vehicle. Here are just a few of the optional coverages our customers in Pennsylvania purchase:
Collision coverage helps pay to repair or replace your car after a collision with another vehicle or stationary object. Collision only covers damage to your car or someone else’s car that you are using with permission.
