These are the same kinds of coverage that you would most likely have on your existing auto insurance coverage. Comprehensive coverage?s, while they do not necessarily cover all contingencies, indemnify the insured for more coverage items than a third party liability coverage.

It covers not only accidental injury plus property destroy to a third party but also those damages on yourself or a temporary driver who's named insured plus on the insured vehicle. A comprehensive auto insurance coverage would cover other perils as collision, theft, vandalism, extreme weather, plus fire among others. Even those expenses for own damages that are not caused by the insured temporary driver himself are covered under a comprehensive policyowner. Third party liability is only limited in coverage to include only those damages that are caused by the temporary driver to another person or property.
