How do I insure a leased car?

I plan on leasing a new 2022 Toyota Camry. The dealership said that I'll need insurance when I pick up the car next week. How would I insure a leased car?

Although
car insurance
is essential on all vehicles, it’s especially important on leased vehicles because the dealership may have specific requirements on what coverage you carry.
Dealerships often require lessees to carry
liability coverage
of $100,000 per accident and $30,000 per person and
comprehensive coverage
and
collision coverage
, with deductibles no higher than $500 or $1,000. This is also known as full coverage insurance.
After confirming the required coverage with the dealership, shop around. Full coverage is more expensive than liability coverage, so comparing prices across companies will get you the lowest rate.
