Why you need to buy insurance

Despite the high cost of buying insurance for a Mitsubishi Raider in Virginia Beach, buying insurance may not be optional for several reasons.

• The majority of states have mandatory liability insurance requirements which means the state requires a specific level of liability insurance if you drive a vehicle. In Virginia these limits are 25/50/20 which means you must have $25,000 of bodily injury coverage per person, $50,000 of bodily injury coverage per accident, and $20,000 of property damage coverage.
• If you took out a loan on your Raider, most banks will have a requirement that you carry insurance to guarantee loan repayment. If coverage lapses or is canceled, the lender may insure your Mitsubishi for a lot more money and force you to reimburse them for the expensive policy.
• Insurance safeguards both your assets and your Mitsubishi. Insurance will also pay for most medical and hospital costs for both you and anyone you injure as the result of an accident. As part of your policy, liability insurance also pays for attorney fees and expenses in the event you are sued. If mother nature or an accident damages your car, comprehensive and/or collision insurance will pay to have it repaired.

The benefits of carrying enough insurance are definitely more than the cost, especially when you need to use it. According to a 2015 survey, the average American driver is currently overpaying as much as $825 a year so it’s very important to do a rate comparison at every renewal to make sure the price is not too high.
