Most states require you to carry a minimum amount of liability coverage. Many states have “no-fault” auto insurance systems. Coverage for medical costs for you and your passengers is optional in some states.

Read your policy

Comparison Shop
Select a few insurers for personalized quotes. Consider cost, coverage offered, and quality of service available. Prices for the same coverage can vary by hundreds of dollars, so it pays to shop around. Ask your friends, check the Yellow Pages, and call your state insurance department for guidance. Contact insurance agents or companies for general pricing information.

Keep your insurance information with you.
