When a person finances a car, proof of insurance is required, a buyer has about
24 hours to let his insurance company know about his car. In the event that
car buyer stops making insurance payments the finance company is almost
immediately notified and your car finance agreement charges the buyer
a higher monthly payment for "single interest" insurance. That is where the
finance company is reimbursed if vehicle is damaged, to protect their interests
but not the buyer's. They can then at least get it fixed, and sell to someone
hopefully more responsible. They have this stuff all figured out.

When did American fidelity assurance change its name from American standard life accident insurance company?
What exactly are you looking for? Accident only coverage? Not a good idea when full coverage is only a few dollars more. Your local bank usually has a cheap non-comprehensive accident only plan for you.
What do you do if you had an at fault accident but you have no insurance?
They can sue you. If you have no money in the bank or no assets (a home, vehicle, valuables), then it won't do the other person any good. It will be nearly impossible to get insurance now that you have an accident on your record without coverage (big no no). In the mean time, hopefully the other person has insurance to cover themselves against people who are uninsured in an accident.
If you were involved in an accident and did not have full coverage but the bank had put forced insurance on the loan will that insurance cover the totaled car?
That insurance will probably cover the BANKS interest in the vehicle and any liability that may be assigned to it, but little or nothing for you.
Can you get car insurance without a bank account?
Yes. Having a bank account is not a prerequisite for obtaining auto insurance coverage.
If the bank puts their own insurance on the vehicle due to no coverage and you get in an accident what is covered?
This coverage is called Lenders Single Interest Insurance, and it insures the LENDER against loss. If you crash the car and damage another person's property, the insurance will pay the bank the amount of the loan and cover any damages that may be assessed against the bank if they are sued. Then the insurance company will attempt to collect all of these amounts from YOU. And of course you are responsible for the damage if you are sued. In other words, THE DRIVER/OWNER has NO PROTECTION from this insurance, even though the premium was added into his bank loan.

Do you need Full Coverage if you Have Gap Insurance?
Yes you do. You need to have Collision and Comp coverage for Gap insurance to appy. Let's say that your vehicle is totalled out in a car accident and your loan is for $15000. Now lets say the insurance company offers you $10000. You would still owe the bank $5000 for your car so in this case, the Gap insurance will cover the other $5000 and pay off the loan in full once you submit all the paperwork they need to process the claim.
The Importance Of Auto Insurance?
Obtaining auto owners insurance is the best route to take when protecting a vehicle. It is always important to keep in mind that certain safety features on a vehicle will usually cause auto insurance rates to be lower. These features often include passive restraints, anti-lock brakes, air bags, and security alarm systems. The best way to go about receiving affordable and reasonable auto owner's insurance rates is to shop around and compare quotes. When shopping for insurance it is also wise to purchase a policy that provides adequate coverage. Coverage should be able to cover any expenses that would be incurred after an accident, and these expenses would be related to both the vehicle and any passengers that could be within the vehicle. Insurance coverage should be obtained that provides the following: Coverage for medical expenses, injury protection, underinsured and uninsured motorist coverage, and liability coverage, which protects the insured person and their bank account in the event that they become involved in an accident that is their fault.

What is employers non ownership auto liability insurance?
An employer's non-owner is usually an endorsement to a commercial auto or commercial general liability policy that is actually called hired and non-owned coverage. I always recommend this endorsement to my commercial clients because it is very inexpensive and provides coverage to the employer in cases where an employer has to drive to the bank or post office or similar errands. If an accident occurs the endorsement provides coverage for the employer only. It does not provide coverage to the employee who is still required to carry their own insurance. it provides secondary coverage only.
