Why You Need Car Insurance Even If You Don’t Own a Car

Here is an excerpt from a new blog post at GreggMarcus.com:
Most individuals erroneously believe because they don’t have a car that they don’t require auto insurance. Contrary to this belief, it is important to know that some form of insurance should cover anyone who wishes to drive at some point, even if it is not their vehicle. Needless to say, everyone who drives should be insured. In this post, Gregg S. Marcus, a Long Island Insurance Executive explains why it is so important to be insured, even if you don’t have a car.

Regardless of whether or not you own a vehicle, you should be covered in some way or another by an auto insurance policy, which meets the criteria of the specific state you live and drive in. Even though the car you borrow or rent may be covered by its own policy, the drivers must also hold their own personal insurance coverage. If you were to get into an accident for which you are liable you would have no financial liability without said insurance policy.
If you do not own a car and never drive then it is true that there is no need for you to purchase auto insurance. But if for some reason you are going to be at one point or another behind the wheel of a car, you must be insured. It is not just a legal concern to make sure that you are insured under your own policy, but it is vital in order to protect yourself from potential financial troubles.
