Gilbert Car Insurance Laws

Knowing your way around Gilbert car insurance laws will keep you out of trouble.

Make sure that you have the correct amount of Gilbert car insurance.

Knowing that you have to have car insurance is not enough. You have to know what proof of coverage that you need to present when asked for it and you have to know exactly how much you are required by law to have. If you just have insurance, but fail to pay attention to the other important aspects of Gilbert car insurance you could still end up in trouble with the state.

How Much Car Insurance Do You Need?

The State of Arizona only requires that you carry 15/30/10 liability limits on your Gilbert car insurance to be able to legally drive. For those that don’t speak insurance, this translates as:

• $15,000 in liability coverage for the expenses related to the injuries that you cause to another person
• $30,000 in liability coverage for the expenses related to the injuries that you cause to two or more people.
• $10,000 in liability coverage for damage you do to another person’s property.

Beyond these coverages, it is up for you and your insurance agent to decide how much insurance coverage you need that will adequately protect you.
