Be sure to research Nevada auto insurance before deciding on the one that will provide your coverage.  Nevada auto insurance is required and must meet the following minimum coverage limits:

• $15,000 for bodily injury or death of one person

• $30,000 for bodily injury or death of 2 or more persons

• $10,000 for property damage

Other types of optional coverage include:

• Medical Coverage (sometimes called PIP or MedPay)

• Uninsured and Underinsured Motorist Coverage

• Collision Coverage

• Comprehensive Coverage

The risks of not having Nevada auto insurance are extensive and include personal, financial and legal repercussions.  Be sure to obtain at least the minimum Nevada auto insurance coverage and do not allow your coverage to lapse.  The fees you will pay to have your auto insurance and registration reinstated can top $250.

If you are seeking to insure a new or teen driver, or if your Nevada Driving Record has been assessed points, it is advisable that you speak to an agent about receiving discounts for:

• Enrolling in Driving School, such as the online Defensive Driving course offered by Driving University

• Insuring multiple vehicles on one policy

• Being a current high school or college student

• Having anti-theft devices installed on your vehicles

• Bundling insurance coverage such as homeowner’s and auto

• Having a demerit-free Nevada Driving Record

Navigating the waters of the auto insurance industry does not have to be overwhelming.  Educate yourself before beginning your research and know what makes you a low-risk equitable driver.  Use your assets to your advantage when discussing coverage with an auto insurance agent.

Levels of Auto Insurance 

While the State of Nevada has minimum requirements for auto insurance, Nevada’s minimum level coverage may not be sufficient in the event an accident does occur.  If your levels of insurance coverage do not cover in full the damages you are financially responsible for, your assets may be used to pay the difference.  For this reason, the Insurance Information Institute recommends much higher levels of coverage in the amounts of $100,000 of bodily injury per person and $300,000 of bodily injury per accident.

Risks of Not Having Auto Insurance 

There are personal, financial and legal consequences associated with not having Nevada auto insurance.
Nevada auto insurance is meant to protect you in the event that the unforeseen occurs.  If you are in an accident, your auto insurance will pay out big bucks, depending on your coverage amounts, to ensure that all persons are reimbursed for their personal and property damages.  If you do not have auto insurance, you can expect to pay this out-of-pocket.  The bills you incur do not simply ‘go away’ because you do not have insurance.  You are personally and financially responsible for all damages you caused; victims will seek reimbursement via legal means, so your assets will be in jeopardy.

What Affects Insurance Rates? 

Your Nevada Driving Record directly affects your auto insurance rates, especially if you’ve been convicted of serious traffic violations, such as speeding or a DWI.  If you accumulate demerits on your Nevada Driving Record for traffic violations and/or accidents, you are considered a high-risk driver and will pay increased premiums.  Furthermore, if you have had your driver’s license suspended or revoked, you are required to submit an SR-22 Proof of Financial Responsibility and, in this case, an insurance company may ‘drop’ your coverage indefinitely.
