Age alone does not determine whether a paid-off car should retain protection against crashes.

Two inexpensive-looking endorsements can solve very different disruptions after a breakdown or covered claim.
Being hit by an uninsured driver creates a different coverage question from damage you cause while at fault.
Raising a deductible can reduce premiums, but it also shifts an immediate share of an insured repair bill to the driver.
The label full coverage does not identify every covered risk, so separate collision events from theft, weather and other non-collision losses.
The legal minimum is an entry point rather than a personalized assessment of what another driver could claim after a serious collision.
