Q: Should I carry insurance with my car?

A: Almost all states make it mandatory for the car owner to carry insurance with his vehicle as a proof of financial liability in case there's damage or injury delivered to third parties while being on the road. Not having sufficient insurance coverage (lower than the state minimum) is illegal and may result in a substantial fine, license suspension and even time in custody. This only applies to the liability portion of your insurance policy, as other types of coverage are strictly optional.

Q: Should I purchase insurance prior buying a new car?

A: In case you're purchasing your first car, you should definitely buy insurance first, otherwise you won't be able to drive it from the dealer's shop. Moreover, if you're using a car loan to finance the purchase, your loan provider will make it a strict condition to purchase specific insurance in order to get the money you need.

In case you already have a car and want to replace it with a new one, you should inform your insurance provider about that and get new rates for the car make and model you want to purchase. ...
... You usually have between 2 to 4 weeks to contact your provider regarding the purchase, depending on the company.

In case you're purchasing an additional vehicle and want to include it in your current policy, the regulations vary from company to company. Usually, companies require notification within a period of 30 days, after which they will inform you about approval (or non approval).

Q: How to get cheap auto insurance rates?

A: First of all, shop around to see what different providers on the market have to offer. You will notice that different companies set different rates for the same car and amount of insurance. This is because of competition, different claims history, and classification of vehicles and drivers. So make sure to get as much quotes as you can in the first place and choose the most competitive policy from what you are offered with.

You can also buy an insurance-friendly car, if you're looking for a new vehicle at the moment. Ask the dealer or the insurance agent, which cars tend to get lower rates. Sports cars, performance vehicles, SUVs, convertibles and luxury cars are usually more expensive to insure. Stay with the middle class cars that have high safety and security rating.

You can also increase your deductible, however it's a risky technique. By increasing your deductible you increase the amount of money you'll have to pay before the policy coverage kicks in. For example, if you have a deductible of $1,000 then you'll have to pay for any damage below this amount out of own pocket. So make sure to choose a deductible you can afford.

Q: How can I get cheap auto insurance for my teen?

A: First of all, don't haste to get insurance for your teen while he or she is still going through the learning process of driving a car. Wait until your teen driver gets a permanent license and then you can look for auto insurance coverage.

Second, see if your teen qualifies for the good grades discount, which applies to students with an average of B and higher. Most insurance providers offer such a discount.

Third, think of purchasing a less costly, old car for your teen that will assure lower insurance rates at the initial stage.

And don't forget that your teen has to maintain a clean driver's record in order to keep those rates low.
