Why Do I Need Car Insurance?

You have a car and you may be wondering, do I really need to be paying for this insurance each month? The answer is yes! Continue reading to find out why it is necessary.

Required By State Law

One of the main reasons is because in Pennsylvania it is required to have at least the minimum coverage. If you choose to risk it and go without coverage, you could be fined up to $300, as well as have your driver’s license, registration and license plate suspended for three months.

Required By Lender

Along with it being required by the state, your financing lender may also require it. Check with your lender to find out what type of car insurance they require you to have.

Financial Protection

By choosing to have car insurance, it gives you financial protection in the event something would happen. If you have a car accident and need to get your car repaired, paying a small deductible is a lot better than the possible thousands of dollars it may cost to repair.

Protection for Your Passengers

Should something happen where a passenger in your car is injured due to an accident, your insurance could help cover the costs for their medical expenses.
