Can I get away with dropping my auto insurance?

I do not have a particular website to answer your question. I do know, however, that if you drive with no auto insurance it is against the law. Also, if you do get in an accident you are not covered for your injuries. Also, if the accident is your fault, you can get a hefty lawsuit served in your name. Keep shopping for cheaper insurance. Do not drive without auto insurance.


Can you get auto insurance if you do not own a car?

Yes you can, it's called a named non-owned policy. It covers you to drive a vehicle you do not own, and it only covers you to drive a vehicle that does not have insurance. If you borrow a friends car and have a name non-woned vehicle and have an accident, the insurance follows the vehicle, so their insurance will pay. That company may subrogate and come after you then it would be up to your insurance company to decide if they'd accept liability.

Is there a cutoff age for your son to add a car in his name to your insurance policy if he is NOT living with you and is 24?

Ther is no specific cutoff age. The question is This. Do you have a financial interest in insuring his vehicle or it's insurance?. If you have no financial interest in his auto insurance coverage, then legally you can not insure it. To understand "Financial Interest" in laymans terms ask yourself this question. If he has an accident what are my losses or what is my liability exposure. If the answer is none, Then you can not legally enter into an insurance contract for his vehicle. As an adult on his own, unless you are a cosiigner on his vehicle finance note, then you really do not have a financial interest in his motor vehicle.

Can i get auto insurance after a repossession?

If you have a repossession on your record and you have purchased a new vehicle, you will have no difficulty purchasing insurance. While some states allow auto insurance providers to check the credit history of applicants to determine their auto insurance rates, not all states do this. Even states that check credit history for premium ratings cannot deny you insurance strictly because you have a repossession on your record. While your premiums will be higher in the states that use credit history, you will be able to find insurance through large name insurers. The primary concern of the insurance company is your driving record and accident history. If you have a bad record, you have a more difficult time finding insurance and you may have to insure your vehicle through a high risk insurance company.
