How do i go about getting my totaled and financed car covered by an insurance company that let me get a policy with no collision?

The insurance company would not have required you to get insurance coverage, as it is an optional coverage from the insurer's standpoint. The bigger issue is that the company through which you financed the car would have required collision coverage because it was interested in protecting the value of the collateral. Therefore, it may have obtained "forced-placed" collision coverage on the car and charged the premium to you (through your car payment). If that was done, you would normally have rec'd notice of it and been given a chance to get collision coverage and produce proof of it. Furthermore, collision coverage would have to have been in force at the time of the collision; it would not be retroactively applied to cover the loss.

Liability insurance only covers the other driver, but for consumers who want to protect their vehicle, collison coverage is necessary. Collision insurance covers the policyholder's vehicle in a collision.

Most companies offer this coverage, though some deny this coverage to vehicles that are too old. It is best to contact a licensed insurance representative to purchase collision coverage along with the state required liability coverages. The agent will recommend a deductible, which is what the policyholder must pay before the insurance company covers the loss. Some companies allow their insureds to carry no deductible, but with most companies: the higher the deductible, the lower the premium. It is also wise to remember that the claim cannot be covered unless the amount of damages exceeds the amount of the deductible. For instance, a $300 repair will not be covered if the deductible is $500.Who Needs Collision CoverageNot everyone needs collision coverage. Older cars and vehicles that have been totaled are not worth much. However, what every consumer must consider is whether they have the money to replace or repair the vehicle themselves? If not, the cost of the coverage could be less than a repair.
