Welcome to Auto Insurance Finder
Owning and operating an automobile will cost drivers approximately $6,541 per year (assuming an average of 15,000 miles). This includes the cost of insurance, license, registration, taxes, depreciation, finance charges and gas.
While it is not cheap to own, maintain and operate a vehicle, it is far more expensive to be caught without insurance. Almost every one of the 50 states exacts penalty charges if you are caught driving while uninsured.
In addition, the loss could be phenomenal if you are at fault in a collision. Motor vehicle crashes in the United States cost drivers an estimated $231 billion dollars, with the largest portions going toward loss of wages due to death and disability and damage to property (vehicles, buildings, telephone poles, etc). The good news is that the use of safety belts saved drivers and passengers $50 billion.
Driving while uninsured is perilous to yourself and any passengers in your vehicle; there were an estimated 3.6 billion motor-related injuries in the U.S. in 2002 alone. If you are lucky enough to avoid being in a collision, the possibility of theft is another danger which looms. Uninsured drivers have no protection when their vehicles are vandalized or stolen. Many stolen cars are never recovered. Those that are recovered are often found stripped (gutted for parts) or damaged.
It's clear that purchasing insurance is one of the wisest decisions any driver can make. At Auto Insurance Finder, we've made it easy to find auto coverage, learn about insuring different types of vehicles, and understand different requirements and safety factors in your state and many big cities.
Auto Insurance Finder has compiled research that helps explain the considerations for your life situation, whether you're a male driver or female driver, a new driver or a senior driver, insuring a new car or an older one.
