Absolutely. As a matter of fact and contract you probably are required to specifically carry physical damage coverage with no more than a maximum deductible. Read your finance agreement that you signed with the bank or finance company when you purchased the vehicle. The state you live in specifies if you must carry liability insurance and the leinholder agreement specifies that you carry physical damage coverage. Common sense should also have a play in there some where as well.

Apply for a replacement or duplicate. You can apply for a replacement, but the title will most likely be sent to the lien holder.

If it is sent to you, then you will need to take it to the lien holder and have them sign off on it again.

How does a lien protect the lien holder on a car?

A lien holder on a car title or car loan just means that person is the full owner of the car. If your car gets totalled or goes into default, the lien holder can retrieve the car from you because they have full ownership of the car. Lien Holders are used for lending purposes. This means the lien holder has no liability responsibility. The registered person on the car is required to have liability coverage on the car according to law and not hold the lien holder liability on the car if the car gets damaged or totaled. Lien Holder means they fully own the vehicle until the loan is paid off.


Does auto insurance pay lien on totaled auto?

If an insured car is totalled the insurance company will issue a check made out to the lien holder and the owner jointly, both the lien holder and the owner have to endorse the check to cash it. If the value of the car is more than the lien, the lien gets paid off and the owner gets the remainder. If the value is less than the lien, and therefore, the insurer pays less than the outstanding balance on the loan, the lienholder will be entitled to it. Additionally, the owner will be liable for the balance owing after insurance proceeds are credited.
