Why do you need auto insurance?

It’s really all about protecting yourself financially.

  • If you’re in an accident or your car is stolen, it costs money, often a lot of money, to fix or replace it.
  • If you or any passengers are injured in an accident, medical costs can be extremely expensive.
  • If you or your car is responsible for damage or injury to others, you may be used for much more than you’re worth.
  • Not only is having insurance a prudent financial decision, many states require you to have at least some coverage.

You acknowledge that by providing your personal data to us, you consent to its processing in the manners outlined below. When providing personal data about others, you confirm that you have the consent of these individuals to supply their personal data. We are unable to offer you any product or service that requires the processing of special category personal data, as defined in the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), unless you provide explicit consent for the collection and use of such data.
