Information about Arizona Auto Insurance
The Grand Canyon State requires that motorists must show proof of financial responsibility before a vehicle can be registered in AZ; the state allows consumers to a few different ways to comply. Motorists have the choice to purchase a bond, certificate of deposit or deposit cash in the amount of $40,000 with the state; since this is not generally feasible since the average consumer does not have this amount of money lying around, therefore most residents choose to purchase an auto insurance policy in order to be in compliance with the law.
For those who choose to purchase Arizona car insurance policies rather than the other options available, minimum limits of coverage are required. Motorists must carry a policy consisting of liability limits of no less than $15,000 per person and $30,000 per accident for Bodily Injury and $10,000 per accident for Property Damage. Consumers should keep in mind that these limits are the absolute minimums and more extensive coverage can be purchased if one desires. In addition, the state does not require that motorists carry coverage for physical damage to their automobiles and the state required limits on the insured's policy do not cover any injuries or damages that they may sustain.
