Cheap car insurance FAQ

What type of coverage is the cheapest for car insurance?

Carrying only your state’s minimum coverage requirements can help keep you legal while only paying for the bare minimum amount of car insurance. All states with mandatory car insurance (except Florida) require bodily injury liability and property damage liability. Beyond that, your required coverages depend on your state. If you don’t own a car but want car insurance, a non-owner auto insurance policy may be a good way to save money.

How can I save money on car insurance?

Here are just some of the many ways you can reduce the cost of your car insurance:

With so many options to reduce your auto insurance rates, we know you may have questions. Contact us for answers.

Do car insurance quotes hurt my credit score?

No. Your credit history is only reviewed by car insurance companies to create your credit-based insurance score, so there won't be any hard inquiries that could affect your credit score. This new insurance score helps determine your car insurance rates. So, while getting an insurance quote won’t hurt your credit score, bad credit and payment history on your credit report may result in higher insurance rates.

How soon after buying a car do I need auto insurance?

The time frame you have—anywhere from zero to 30 days—can vary based on your current policy and where or how you purchase your new vehicle. For example, some dealerships require proof of insurance before you can buy a car. Preparation prior to your purchase can help you stay safe and legal on the road.

What damage does car insurance cover?

Car insurance liability coverages help with the costs you could incur for property damage and injuries to people if you’re at fault in an accident. Comprehensive coverage, meanwhile, can cover damages caused by theft, fire, or severe weather. And there are many more types of coverage to choose from. Because there are multiple types of insurance, it’s important to first learn your state’s minimum insurance requirements before determining additional coverages you might want. If you’ve got further questions, we're here to help you at 888-344-4357.
