There's The Cost Of The Vehicle Itself, Maintenance, Repairs, Fuel And Auto Insurance

Driving is a privilege, but it comes with a price tag. There's the cost of the vehicle itself, maintenance, repairs, fuel and auto insurance. Many states require you to carry a basic, minimum level of auto insurance. It's a way of sharing the risks of driving. You pay premiums to an insurance company for coverage. In return, your coverage will protect you against most financial losses that might otherwise be staggering.

Auto insurance is more than a matter of insuring your vehicle for loss or repairs after an accident. It is a financial safety net that can help you offset the cost of:

Bodily injuries to yourself or others

Lost wages due to injury

Benefits to survivors when an accident results in death

Lawsuits brought against you as the result of an accident

Repairs made to your car due to damage caused in an accident.
