Physical damage coverage pays for damage done to your vehicle. This is divided into two policy provisions, comprehensive and collision. Collision is if you hit something or turn the vehicle over. Comprehensive is about everything else, including theft, vandalism, animal collisions, fire, glass breakage, etc. So the main thing you will need to determine is what caused the damage. If you hit a deer then it will be a comprehensive claim. If you hit a telephone pole or another vehicle then it is a collision claim.

I concur "100%" with Insurance Plus, you are owed the ACV (actual cash value) of your vehicle prior to the loss.

A total loss is when the cost of repairing the vehicle exceeds a pre-determined percentage of the vehicle's value. For example, if your vehicle is worth $10,000 and the damage exceeds $7,000, your vehicle may be considered a total loss (depending on the state and your insurance company's policy). A borderline total loss would be (in the same example) if the damage to your vehicle is close to, but not quite $7,000.
When is buying gap car insurance a good investment?
GAP insurance pays the value of the car minus liens applied to it and only pays in the event of a total loss. If you can get coverage that covers damage (as well as total loss), this would be better.

What does loss payee mean on a auto insurance policy?
The loss payee is any entity that has financial interest in the vehicle (usually a financial institution) that notifies the insurance company and the policy holder of that interest in writing. Any entity can be a loss payee, including your father, if he can show financial interest. The loss payee is usually the finance company that holds title to your vehicle. In the event of significant damage to the vehicle the loss payee needs to sign off on the check from the insurance company for the damage. This usually happens after the damage has been repaired. In the event of a total loss the loss payee will be sent a check for the amount of the loan and anything left over will you to the insured. Hopefully you won't owe more than the car is worth in the event of a total loss.
