How do I check if a car has comprehensive insurance?

There have been more severe weather events where I live lately, and I’m worried my car may be damaged. How could I check to see if I have comprehensive insurance and make sure I’m covered for weather-related events?

To find out what coverage is included in your current policy, you’ll need to check on your provider’s website using your policy number. This number can be found on your vehicle registration card that you should’ve gotten from the DMV. It also will be on the insurance card that you receive when you purchase insurance.
A lot of people put their
vehicle registration
card with their insurance card in their glove compartment or someplace easily accessible in their car in case they get pulled over.
Once you find this information, you can contact your insurance company to check your policy coverage. Even if you have
comprehensive coverage
, you may want to talk to your insurance company for the details of what exactly is covered with your plan. Typically, natural disasters—including earthquakes, hurricanes, tornadoes, or fallen branches—but insurance companies will usually list a long list of exclusions that they won’t cover.
If you need to change policies to have more coverage, shop for quotes with
