DMV Auto Insurance

If you are registering a new car or truck or renewing a registration, be prepared to provide proof of auto insurance to your local DMV, or Department of Motor Vehicles. Every state requires vehicle owners to have a minimal amount of auto insurance or will ask you to pay a fee to waive insurance.The amount of auto insurance that a DMV requires varies from state to state. For example, the California DMV asks for minimum auto insurance levels of $15,000 for injuries or death of one person, $30,000 for the deaths or injuries of two or more people, and $5,000 for property damage protection. On the other hand, the Virginia DMV requires significantly more auto insurance coverage—$25,000 for injuries or death of one person, $50,000 to cover any injuries or deaths of two or more people, and $20,000 for any property damage that occurs in an accident. However, as an alternative, Virginia will allow you to pay a $500 fee, which must be paid annually with your renewal, to waive insurance. This does not mean that the state of Virginia provides you insurance in the event that you have an accident. You will still be responsible for damages if you are found at fault.In addition, the DMV may allow you to renew your vehicle registration online if the DMV has an agreement with your auto insurance company. This feature can save you a significant amount of hassle. Before you register or renew your vehicle, check your local DMV for auto insurance requirements and services. You may face some hefty fines in addition to loosing your driving privileges if you do not have auto insurance or neglect to register your vehicle.Get multiple free quotes here at AutoCarInsurance.org.
