Video — Why Should You Buy Auto Insurance

Cars are large and powerful, and driving has risks. So some degree of auto insurance coverage is legally required. In most states, at least, basic liability insurance is required. If you drive without insurance, you can face expensive fines or have your license revoked even if you drive very well and don't have an accident. If you are involved in an accident, auto insurance can save you thousands in repair or replacement costs for your car and potentially another car or property. It's even more expensive to address human repairs. Medical costs from accidents can reach major sums. Many auto insurance policies include options for medical. Auto insurance is just a required aspect of owning a car. It's legally required and it provides financial and physical security when you drive.
