Auto liability insurance only
Pays others. Not your car.
Auto liability insurance only pays for the injuries and damage you cause to other people. It does not pay to repair or replace your own car.
Free. Simple. Quick. Only the insurance agents you pick get your request.
Liability insurance pays only for losses you cause to others.Virginia’s Bureau of Insurance, in its auto insurance guide.
What it pays, and what stays with you
It pays for
- ✓Other people’s injuries when you cause a crash.
- ✓Other people’s cars and property that you damage.
- ✓Only up to your limits. Above them, the rest is yours to pay.
It does not pay for
- ✕Your own car after a crash. Collision coverage pays for that.
- ✕Your car if it is stolen, burned, flooded or vandalized. Comprehensive coverage pays for that.
- ✕Your own injuries, or those of the people in your household.

Whether it is yours to choose
Say whether money is owed on the car.
It is yours to choose
No state law makes you insure your own car. Without collision and comprehensive, you pay for its repairs yourself.
NAIC, A Shopping Tool for Auto Insurance · New Hampshire Insurance DepartmentYour lender decides
Most lenders require collision and comprehensive. If you drop them, the lender can buy its own coverage and charge you for it. That coverage protects the lender, not you.
Washington’s Office of the Insurance Commissioner · Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB)Your lease decides
A lease has to state the insurance you must carry. California’s insurance department says leasing companies require collision and comprehensive.
CFPB, Regulation M · California Department of InsuranceWhat stays on you
With liability only, repairing or replacing your own car is on you. Add what the car is worth to see the amount.

Common questions
Is it okay to have liability only car insurance?
State laws ask you to cover what you do to others, not your own car. A lender or a lease may ask for more. Regulators’ guides say you may not need coverage for your own car if it has lost value or you can afford to replace it.
Who has the cheapest car insurance for liability only?
No regulator names one, and we rank no company. Companies charge different prices for the same coverage, so compare quotes for the same limits.
How much cheaper is liability only insurance?
No regulator publishes a figure. What you would stop paying for is collision and comprehensive on your own car, and that cost depends on the car, the driver and the company. The only figure that is yours is in your own quotes.
What does “liability only insurance” mean?
No regulator defines the phrase. In their guides, a policy with only liability coverage is one that will not pay to repair or replace your own car. Some states require more than liability, so ask what yours requires.
Can you have liability insurance on a financed car?
Usually not on its own. Most lenders require collision and comprehensive coverage while you owe on the car.
