“While it’s helpful to have a warranty, you definitely still need to purchase
car insurance
.
A warranty is often optional and a guarantee that if something breaks on your vehicle, the manufacturer will replace or repair it.
Car insurance protects you, your vehicle, and other drivers from damages. It’s also legally required in most states. To legally operate a vehicle, you’ll need the
state minimum car insurance
. Without it, you face serious consequences, like fines, license suspensions, or jail time.
