Truck Physical Damage           

Physical Damage Truck InsurancePhysical Damage coverage can insure against Fire, Theft, Vandalism and collision damage to your vehicle. This coverage is normally written on an "ACV" or Actual Cash Value basis.  This means that in the event of a loss the Insurance Company will only pay an amount based upon what your vehicle was worth at the time of the loss. A deductible can apply to each covered loss may vary from $500 to $10,000. Generally the higher the deductible, the lower the premium. Currently $1,000.00  is the most popular physical damage deductible to carry.
