Do I really need auto
insurance?
Auto insurance is designed to protect you financially. If you are
responsible for injuries, you may be held liable for the injured
person's vehicle repairs, medical expenses, therapy and loss of
wages.
All states require you to be financially responsible when driving a
car. Depending on the state, you may be legally required to have
auto insurance.

What coverage options
are available?
Most states require that you carry a minimum amount of liability
coverage. Liability insurance pays for damages if you become legally
liable due to resulting body or property damage. Beyond that, you
have many choices, ranging from different types of coverage, the
amount of coverage and deductibles.

If I rent
but don't own can I still get coverage?

cover personal property, liability, medical expenses etc., the
renters policy simply does not cover the actual dwelling.
