full coverage

Nothing left exposed

Full coverage in insurance means a policy that covers a wide range of risks—typically liability, collision, and comprehensive protection combined.

The term is informal rather than technical; no standard definition exists, and policies marketed as full coverage vary considerably.

I have full coverage on my car, so the hail damage should be covered.

In other contexts, full coverage describes complete or thorough treatment of a subject: The network promised full coverage of the election.
