“Choosing the right car insurance can be intimidating—there are so many options!
Since
insurance
is highly dependent on your personal situation, you’ll need to consider several things to find the right policy.
You’ll first want to decide on a budget and determine your coverage requirements. How much can you afford to spend? What
types of coverage
does your vehicle need?
If you’re financing a car, you should plan to have both
comprehensive
and
collision insurance
on your policy—this is required by most lenders.
Once you have an idea of what you can afford and the coverage you need, you can start shopping around. You’ll want to request
car insurance quotes
from a variety of companies in order to get a good idea of what’s out there and which company is offering the best deal.
If you’d rather leave the hard work of gathering quotes to someone else, use
