Does Insurance Cover Stolen Cars with Keys Left Inside?

If your vehicle was stolen and you left the keys in the car, your insurance may cover it — as long as you have comprehensive insurance. Here are a couple of quick facts about comprehensive insurance:

  • Other forms of coverage like liability and collision insurance are designed to protect you, your vehicle, and others in the event of an accident. Comprehensive insurance covers all additional cases, including theft.
  • With comprehensive insurance, drivers can receive damages for the vehicle contingent on their deductible and policy terms.

In any case, be sure to check your insurance plan to make sure that your vehicle has comprehensive coverage, so you’ll be prepared.
