“Full Coverage” Is Not an Actual Coverage on Your Policy
“Do I have full coverage?” is hard to answer with a simple yes or no, because “full coverage” is not a formal coverage name on any policy.
1. It is not a standard
In everyday use, the term usually means Liability plus Collision plus Comprehensive. But that is not a defined standard, and interpretations vary. You will not find a line item called “full coverage” on a policy.
The result: two people both say they have full coverage; one has Rental and Roadside, the other does not. The conversation sounds identical while the policies are not.
2. The five places policies actually differ
3. The Texas rule on PIP and UM/UIM
Under Texas rules, an auto policy is required to include PIP and UM/UIM unless the applicant rejects them in writing (source: TDI). Many people signed that rejection in the middle of a stack of paperwork without any memory of it.
One more detail: UMPD — damage to your vehicle caused by an uninsured driver — carries a $250 deductible set by Texas law, and it cannot be waived.

「全险」不是保单上的正式说法
「我这个是不是 Full Coverage？」这个问题很难只用 Yes 或 No 回答，因为「全险」本身并不是保单上的正式条款名。
一、它不是一个统一标准
市场上说的全险，通常指 Liability 加 Collision 加 Comprehensive 的组合。但这不是统一标准，各家的理解也不完全一致。保单上你找不到「全险」这一行。
结果就是：两个人都说自己买的是全险，一个有 Rental 和 Roadside，另一个没有。对话里听起来一样，实际保单差很多。
二、差别常出现在这五项
三、德州关于 PIP 与 UM/UIM 的规定
按德州规定，车险保单本应包含 PIP 与 UM/UIM，除非投保人以书面形式拒绝（来源：TDI）。很多人是在签一堆文件时顺手签掉了那份拒绝书，自己其实没有印象。
补充一个细节：UMPD（对方无保险时自己车辆的损失）按德州保险法有 $250 法定免赔额，依规定不可放弃。
