Do I Need Car Insurance?
  • Car insurance can seem like an intimidating
    purchase to make, especially if youre buying it
    for the first time. But it doesnt have to be!
    There are plenty of things you can do before
    buying car insurance to help you get the best
    rates possible and make sure you end up with a
    policy that meets your needs exactly. Follow
    these tips as you shop around and ask lots of
    questions to find out which car insurance company
    and policy will be right for you.

You might not think you need car insurance, but
its always a good idea to have some coverage.
According to a 2016 report by Consumer Reports,
16 percent of drivers do not have auto
insuranceand more than two million of those are
under 25. Whether you opt for liability only or
comprehensive coverage, though, expect to pay a
premium. Consider your driving record and budget
before purchasing.

Get The Right Amount Of Coverage
  • The most important thing to do is get enough car
    insurance. That means you need to look at your
    needs. The main components of a policy are
    liability and physical damage. Liability covers
    injuries and property damage to others in an
    accident caused by you or your car. Physical
    damage pays for repairs after an accident if
    youre not legally liable. There are other types
    of coverage, such as medical payments, uninsured
    motorist protection, comprehensive coverage, and
    collision coverage. Decide whats right for you
    based on how much money you can afford to spend
    each month on premiums (that cost will vary
    depending on where you live) and how much risk
    you want to assume should an accident occur.

Avoid Scams When Shopping For Car Insurance

What Other Types Of Coverage Are Available?
  • If youre a first-time car insurance buyer, it
    can be difficult to know which auto insurance
    provider is best. Since there are so many options
    out there, shopping around can help you find an
    affordable policy that meets your needs. At the
    same time, make sure you take the necessary
    precautions to avoid being scammed. By doing your
    research and shopping around, you can secure a
    high-quality policy at a reasonable price. Best
    of luck!

When buying car insurance, you can add coverage
for yourself and any passengers in your vehicle.
For example, if you live with a spouse or
children that drive their cars and you want to be
protected should they get into an accident, its
possible to purchase additional coverage for
them. Also known as secondary or umbrella
coverage, these options are often available when
buying basic liability insurance, but may come at
an additional cost. Another addition is medical
payments coverage, which covers medical expenses
resulting from an auto accident.

Finding Cheap Car Insurance
  • If you have health insurance through your
    employer, though, its usually cheaper to carry
    supplemental medical payments rather than primary
    health insurance.

Just because you dont have a ton of driving
experience under your belt doesnt mean you
shouldnt pay less for auto insurance. You just
need to know where to look. Here are some tips on
finding cheap car insurance as a first-time
driver Ask your friends and family members if
they can recommend any reputable companies that
provide low-cost coverage. Generally, these
companies cater to drivers who tend to be safer
(i.e., younger) and those who want lower
deductibleseither way, these policies usually
cost less than what major companies offer, making
them especially appealing to first-timers looking
for more bang for their buck. However, theres no
guarantee that these policies will include all of
your required coverages in fact, it could result
in a lapse in coverage, which is never good news
if you get into an accident while insured with
one of these companies.
