2Tips For First-Time Car Insurance Buyers
3Do 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.
4Get 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.

5What 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.
6Finding 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.
