What does cat v car mean?

The term "cat v car" stands for "contingency against theft-vandalism and collision or upset." It refers to a specific type of insurance coverage that provides protection against a broader range of risks and occurrences than a comprehensive automobile insurance policy may offer. CAT v CAR may provide coverage or benefits that address additional events including theft, vandalism, damage due to collision or upset (vehicle overturning). The phrase implies the inclusion of these extended coverages beyond standard collision and comprehensive insurance that focuses narrowly on vehicle-related incidents in general.
