Auto Insurance - FAQs
1How much Auto insurance do I need?
Most states require you to carry a minimum amount of Liability insurance and also provide proof of insurance to register a vehicle or renew your license. In the case of an accident, the minimum Liability insurance required by the state may not be enough coverage to pay for the damages that result after an accident. In this case, the driver responsible for the accident may have to pay additional expenses out of pocket. To determine how much Auto insurance you need, consider:
• The value of your assets
• How and when you drive
• What you drive
• Who is in the car with you
