Most auto financing company will require you to provide auto insurance for the car you would be purchasing. Since you will be purchasing the car through a loan, it is technically not yours, until such time that you have repaid all your balance.
Having auto insurance covers both you and the lending institution from losing a huge chunk of money if anything happens to the car. Obviously, the car depreciates the minute you’ve used it and it will depreciate even more if it would figure in an incident early in its lifetime. Having auto insurance assures everybody that the car can be restored to near its original condition without anyone having to cash out huge amounts of money.
