It all depends on your insurance coverage. It is also unique to each state. By definition collision coverage would cover anything that comes in contact with your car including, but not limited to: rocks, animals, hail, and many others. However, on your insurance document it may state items excluded- such as earthquake damage, hurricane damage, etc. If I were you I would call up my insurance agent and ask the experts, it rarely hurts to ask. Good luck!

What type of insurance will cover damages to your car if you hit a deer while driving through a parking lot?
Actually, hitting a deer is generally covered by your comprehensive coverage, not collision. Comprehensive covers "acts of God," which include hitting animals because it was an act of God that the animal was there at that time. Reading your insurance policy will clarify exactly which kinds of claims are covered by which types of insurance. There are 3 catagories for car insurance: 1. Liability (covers you if you hit someone else) 2. Comprehensive (covers you if an uninsured driver hits you), and 3. Collision (covers you if you hit something -for instance, a deer-)
