Best Answer

Car insurance is an agreement between yourself and an insurance company who will pay for any liability that you incur should you be involved in an accident.

Your payment to them is called the insurance premium and is based on statistical analysis of your potential likelihood of making a claim. i.e. How likely you are to have an accident in your car based on factors like age, sex, time qualified as a driver, civil or criminal record, type of job, usage of the vehicle and past claims history.

no Actually, it depends on what you mean.
