Recommended additional auto insurance coverages in Nevada

Nevada's required liability coverage may help pay for injuries and property damage you cause, but it may not cover all costs after an accident. Optional coverages provide additional protection.

Coverage	What it covers
Comprehensive	Cost to repair or replace your car if it's stolen or damaged by hail, fire, wind, flooding, vandalism, and other covered events
Collision	Cost to repair or replace your vehicle if it overturns or collides with another vehicle or object
Uninsured/underinsured motorist	Covered injuries when an at-fault driver has too little or no insurance

Nevada insurers must offer uninsured/underinsured motorist coverage, but you aren't required to purchase it. If you finance or lease your vehicle, your lender or leasing company may require comprehensive and collision coverage.
