Tips & Warnings
PLPD is a type of liability coverage. Use this insurance to primarily hedge risks associated with property damage and body injuries.
Another option to look into is "Comprehensive Collision", which usually pays for all damages. However, the premium will most likely be high.
PLPD does not cover damage due to theft or fire, or provide compensation for repairs. It will usually have a limitation on bodily injuries and property damage, and will not cover damages for the other party. If you are at fault, you will be responsible.
