A BAP generally offers:

• Collision — Takes care of damage from crashes with another object or overturn of the vehicle
• Comprehensive coverage — Handles loss from any cause except collision. A limited, less expensive option is available. It only protects against a set of specific causes such as fire, lightning, explosion, vandalism, and several others).
• Liability coverage — Protection for physical injury to other persons or their property because of an accident related to your covered vehicle including legal defense cost or expense
• Loss of use/Rental vehicle coverage — If you damage a rental car, this option helps to reimburse the rental company for income it loses because the vehicle is out of use. Also, there may be limited coverage for injury or damage that you cause to others while using a rented vehicle anywhere in the world.
• Towing and labor costs for disabled vehicles
