An auto insurance policy is a contract between you and an insurance company - sometimes a local insurance company, sometimes nationwide. (It’s always a good idea to do an auto insurance quotes comparison – and we’re sure you’ll find that, in most cases, The General is the lowest!)
In exchange for paying a premium, the car insurance company promises to pay for specific car-related financial losses within the selected coverage limits that you may have during the term of the agreement.
Basically, if you get in an accident, car insurance protects you from financial hardships that could result from damage, injuries, or lawsuits from other drivers.
Most states require that you carry automobile liability insurance in certain minimum amounts. If you are at fault in an accident, the law typically requires that you pay the damages sustained by the person who is not at fault. These can include property damage, which is the cost to repair or replace any property that you have damaged.
Why You Need Car Insurance
If you plan on driving in any state you’ll need car insurance. Even drivers in the two states that don’t legally require it drive with car insurance, and that’s with good reason. Car insurance benefits you and other drivers on the road whom you might get into an accident with. It protects you from huge expenses related to damage or total loss of your car and other drivers’ cars after an accident. Car insurance can also protect the financial loss of your car if you’re in an accident with an uninsured or underinsured driver.
However, the benefits of car insurance aren’t limited to your car. If you, or someone else who’s involved in an accident with you, is injured, your car insurance may help you pay for medical expenses that your regular health insurance might not cover, like dental work and other medical care required after the accident.
If the state you live in requires some type of car insurance coverage, you’ll need to get the set amount of minimum coverage. Some auto finance companies require you to have comprehensive and collision coverage while you’re paying off your car loan as well.
