Is Full Coverage Required in Oklahoma?
Oklahoma requires drivers to maintain liability insurance. State law does not generally require comprehensive and collision coverage.
A lender or leasing company may require them, though.
When a bank, credit union, or leasing company has a financial interest in the vehicle, it will commonly require coverage that helps protect that vehicle. The financing agreement may also establish deductible or liability-limit requirements.
If your vehicle is financed or leased, review the agreement before changing your coverage.
Who Commonly Chooses Full Coverage?
- Drivers financing a vehicle
- Drivers leasing a vehicle
- Owners of newer cars
- Owners of higher-value vehicles
- Drivers who want protection for certain damage to their vehicle
- Drivers concerned about theft or vandalism
- Drivers concerned about Oklahoma weather
- People who could not easily repair or replace their vehicle themselves
How Full Coverage Works After an Accident
- Bodily injury liability may address covered injuries to other people
- Property damage liability may address covered damage to another vehicle or property
- Collision coverage may address covered damage to your vehicle
- A collision deductible may apply
How Comprehensive Works After a Non-Collision Loss
Comprehensive coverage may apply when the vehicle is damaged by a covered event other than a collision.
For example, if hail damages a parked vehicle, the claim would generally be considered under comprehensive coverage. The deductible would be applied, and the insurance company would evaluate the cost of repairing the damage in relation to the vehicle’s value.
The same basic process may apply to covered theft, vandalism, fire, falling objects, and other non-collision losses.
How Full Coverage Deductibles Work
Collision and comprehensive normally have separate deductibles.
A deductible is the amount applied to a covered vehicle-damage claim before the insurance payment is calculated.
Choosing a higher deductible may lower the policy price, but it also increases the amount you would be responsible for after a loss. A lower deductible may reduce that immediate responsibility but result in a higher policy price.
A lender or leasing company may limit the deductible available for a financed or leased vehicle.
