summer outlook
- Summer brings frequent severe storms with large, damaging hail. Comprehensive is the only coverage for hail damage.
- Wildfire season peaks in summer. Smoke, ash, and fire can damage or destroy a vehicle, and comprehensive covers wildfire loss.
Risk factors
Recommended Coverage
Hail coverage
The Front Range sees some of the most damaging hail in the country, and a single storm can dent panels and crack glass across whole neighborhoods like Briargate and the Powers Corridor, damage only comprehensive covers.
Wildfire coverage
Wildfire reaching the Black Forest and the Westside foothills, and the smoke and ash it carries, can damage or destroy a vehicle, and that loss is covered only under comprehensive.
Uninsured motorist
A notable share of Colorado drivers carry no coverage, so a collision on I-25 or Powers Boulevard can leave you covering your own costs without it.
Collision
Winter snow and ice on I-25 and the climbs toward the mountains along Ute Pass drive a seasonal spike in collision claims.

What Every Colorado Springs Driver Needs To Know
How serious is hail risk for vehicles in Colorado Springs?
It's the area's most common large claim. The Front Range sits in a stretch of the country that sees frequent, severe hail, and a single summer storm can dent panels and crack windshields across whole neighborhoods at once. That damage is covered only under comprehensive, which is why it's the coverage most worth holding through the spring and summer storm season here.
Does wildfire risk affect what coverage I should carry in Colorado Springs?
It's a real reason to keep comprehensive. The dry foothills and forest edges around the city carry genuine wildfire exposure, and fire, smoke, and ash can damage or total a vehicle. Collision and liability don't pay for that, so comprehensive is what protects your car against a fire loss, which matters more here than in regions without that exposure.
Are there insurance savings for military members in Colorado Springs?
Often, yes. Given the size of the local military community, it's worth asking about military and veteran discounts, which several insurers offer. If you deploy, many companies also let you reduce coverage on a stored vehicle, keeping enough to satisfy your lender and state registration while dropping what you don't need on a car that isn't being driven, then restoring it when you return.
Does Colorado's at-fault system change what I should carry in Colorado Springs?
It shapes it. The driver who causes a crash is responsible for the damage, so the other party's liability coverage is meant to pay your costs. When that driver is uninsured or carries only minimum limits, your own uninsured and underinsured motorist coverage fills the gap, which is worth carrying given the share of drivers who go without it.
