By dropping all of that coverage, if the car is stolen and not recovered you will not be able to collect anything. An alternative would be to increase the deductible and still maintain some comprehensive. I can see canceling the collision. As long as you don't hit anything and it is your fault or you catch anyone that hits you, you would be OK. If the car is financed you are supposed to continue full coverage for the lender.
