Cheapest Nevada Car Insurance

Nevada comes off more strongly than most states when it comes to making sure that people follow its minimum car insurance requirement laws. It has come with an extensive system that requires the cooperation between all of the state certified car insurance companies and the department of motor vehicles, called the Insurance Verification Program. Nevada car insurance is both highly regulated and very reliable.

The requirements:

• Bodily injury for a single person–$15k
• Bodily injury for multiple people–$30k
• Property damage–$10k

Now those minimums only apply to your regular car driver. Anybody who takes cargo in their vehicle will need to raise their liability limits and possibly have more of other kinds of coverage. As for those who own a business in which they own more than nine vehicles, they can be self insured and not need a car insurance company.

A close eye is kept on the insurance business, and if you decide to cancel your Nevada car insurance policy, you have only a short time in which you can turn over the plates of your vehicle.

So what is the IVP?

Once a month, the Nevada car insurance companies call the DMV to inform them of the customers they have gained and the customers that they have lost. And they give them all of the relevant information, too. That means the VIN for the vehicle and the name on the policy. The name on the policy needs to be the same as the name on your registration, because if it isn’t then that is grounds for fines and suspension of license. Anytime you need to change the name, you have to change it on both documents.

Once the DMV’s system shows that someone doesn’t have a car insurance policy, they send you a nice little letter asking for you to send them proof that you do, or that you no longer own the car, or that the car is no longer in Nevada. You get twenty days to get back with them. They make it easy by providing a way to do this at the Nevada DMV’s website. And if you don’t, or if the company that you claim to have a policy with says you don’t, there goes your registration. You can either get insured and reinstate your registration, or give up your license plates.

One of the big incentives to stay insured in Nevada is that you do not want to have to go through reinstating your registration. It costs $250, plus you have to have the minimum liability coverage as well. Even if your car was broken down while you didn’t have car insurance coverage, you will still lose your registration because of the lapse. This is inconvenient, but luckily, the price to get your registration back if you can prove that your car was out of service during that period is only fifty dollars, which is a big saving. You also might want to consider that even if your car is out of service, you at least should have comprehensive. If your city floods and your car is completely lost, it’s more expensive to replace it than to have insurance.
