auto insurance

Driver's financial safeguard

Auto insurance is coverage that protects against financial loss from vehicle accidents, theft, or damage.

Most jurisdictions require drivers to carry at least liability insurance, which covers harm to others.

Comprehensive and collision coverage protect the policyholder's own vehicle.
