Local risk worth knowing: Nebraska consistently records some of the highest counts of severe hail reports in the country, according to NOAA's Storm Prediction Center severe weather data. For Omaha drivers this is a comprehensive-coverage question — worth raising on the call.
Before comparing options, know the terrain:
Omaha commutes flow along I-80, the I-480 river crossing into Council Bluffs — a two-state metro where the insurance rules change mid-bridge — and the West Dodge Expressway pushing ever westward. Spring and early summer put this region squarely in hail country: a single evening cell can pepper every driveway from Papillion to Bellevue, which is why comprehensive coverage and glass deductibles are dinner-table topics here. Winter ice storms and I-80 whiteouts west toward Fremont are the other bookend. Out on Highway 275 toward Norfolk, deer own the ditches at dusk. Growth on the metro's edges keeps construction-zone fender benders steady, making collision choices practical rather than abstract.

Roughly 7.5% of Omaha households keep no vehicle at all. If that's you but you still drive — borrowed cars, car-share, or an SR-22 requirement after a suspension — a non-owner policy covers liability without insuring a specific vehicle. It's one of the most misunderstood products in Nebraska, and exactly what the referral line is for.
About 42.6% of Omaha households rent rather than own. Renters move more often, park on the street more often, and are more likely to see comprehensive claims for theft or vandalism — worth weighing when you pick deductibles. If you rent in Omaha, ask the licensed professional about bundling renters and auto coverage on one policy.
