One door of my car got keyed today by an unknown person. Is this considered vandalism or will I have to pay a co-pay or deductible?

Vandalism to your vehicle, such as a door being keyed, should be reported to the police and your insurance company. If the insurance company finds that the damages to your car are from an act of vandalism, it would typically be covered under the comprehensive coverage portion of your policy. Physical damage coverage, such as comprehensive, comes with a deductible amount that you chose when you set up your policy.
