Getting anywhere interesting around here involves unpaved road. Your policy does not stop at the pavement, and a few specific things change once you leave it.
Cover does not depend on the road surface. Recovery, damage patterns and who can reach you all do.
Three things about driving beyond the pavement.
A standard policy does not exclude unpaved roads. What changes is what goes wrong: undercarriage damage, punctured tires, windshield chips from loose surface and damage from striking debris. Most of that is collision rather than comprehensive, with the deductible that follows.
Roadside assistance limits are written around a tow from a road. Recovering a stuck vehicle from sand or a wash is a different operation at a different price, and policies frequently do not reach it. Knowing your limit in dollars rather than in principle is the useful preparation.
A breakdown an hour down an unpaved road is a long wait and an expensive retrieval regardless of the cause. That is an argument for carrying towing cover with a realistic limit and for telling somebody where you are going, rather than for a different policy.
Cover for where you actually drive.
Out here a tow can exceed a small limit easily.
Most unpaved damage falls under collision.
Glass and debris damage is frequent on loose surfaces.
