When you purchase a vehicle from a car dealer, they may offer to assist you in the process of getting insurance, but they are not required to do so. If you choose to use the dealer's assistance, they may provide information about available insurance providers and help you gather the necessary information to complete an application. However, it is ultimately your responsibility to select an insurance provider and ensure that the necessary coverage is in place.
It is important to shop around and compare quotes from multiple insurance providers to find the best coverage at the best price. You can also work with an independent insurance agent or broker to help you find the right insurance policy for your needs and budget.
Once you have selected an insurance provider and purchased a policy, you will need to provide proof of insurance to the car dealer. This may involve providing a copy of your insurance policy or an insurance card. The car dealer will then provide you with any necessary paperwork for registering your vehicle with the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV).
Remember, as the vehicle owner, it is your responsibility to ensure that you have the appropriate insurance coverage in place before operating your vehicle. Failure to maintain insurance coverage can have serious consequences, including fines, penalties, and potential legal liability in the event of an accident.
