collision damage

Impact-caused vehicle destruction

Collision damage is harm to a vehicle resulting from impact with another vehicle or object.

The term appears most often in insurance contexts: collision damage waiver, collision damage coverage.

Rental car companies offer waivers that release renters from liability for such damage.

The policy covers collision damage but not theft.
