Whether you’re a first-time driver or just need a refresher, understanding how car insurance works helps you make smart, confident decisions. We explain it all — no jargon, just clear answers.

What Is Car Insurance?

Car insurance is a contract between you and the insurance company. You pay a monthly or yearly fee (called a premium), and in return, the company helps cover certain costs if something goes wrong — like an accident, theft, or damage

How It Works Step by Step

1
You choose a policy
Pick the coverages and limits that fit your needs.
2
You pay your premium
Usually monthly, sometimes annually — to keep your coverage active.
3
You have an accident or claim event
Notify COVER AI or file a claim.
4
We assess the damage
Our team reviews the claim, checks coverage, and estimates costs.
5
We pay covered expenses
You might pay a deductible (the amount you cover yourself), and we pay the rest up to your policy limits.

Legal requirement

Most U.S. states require minimum insurance.

Financial protection

Avoid huge out-of-pocket costs.

Peace of mind

Drive knowing COVER AI has your back.
