We used to call this "full coverage" but insurance companies do not use the term "full coverage" anymore because there are always cases where there is no coverage.

When would you not carry full coverage auto insurance?

If you own a car outright and have paid off loans used to buy it, you are no longer required to have full coverage insurance for it. At this point, it a personal choice. If your car has worth that you cannot afford to lose in the case of an at-fault collision or theft. On the other hand, if the vehicle is older or not worth so much, it may not be worth it to pay for full coverage insurance.

What is the difference between full coverage auto insurance and comprehensive and collision insurance?

This is a good question. Full coverage was a term that used to be used in insurance to describe a policy that had liability, comprehensive, collision and any other endorsements that the client wanted such as rental coverage and whatever else. Due to it being the day of suing over everything we don't use the term any more because too many attorneys have convinced people that full coverage had to mean every possible coverage that there is and then some even though the person knew what they bought. No individual responsibility for reading the policy or at least the declarations summary page, just sue. So now we don't say full coverage any more, we name each coverage separately.
