I Need Cheap Temporary Auto Insurance
Reader’s Question:
I’m on a holiday and will be staying for a short-time here in Athens-Clarke County, Georgia. I am thinking of leasing a car so I’ll be able to explore the sights and sounds of beautiful Georgia to the hilt. Will I be required to get insurance for the car? Can I do without one?

Hi, Paul! While in Georgia, be sure to visit Stone Mountain Park, they say your stay won’t be complete without seeing it!
Leasing a car is a very wise option when you’ll be staying in a place for a short duration of time. It allows you to be as mobile as you can, while spares you from spending a significant amount of money. I think I know why you are reluctant on getting auto insurance for your leased car. Insurance is usually looked at as an investment and somehow it doesn’t seem logical to invest in something you will only be using for a short time only. But if you would really examine the reason behind insurances, you will get to see the wisdom of insuring a leased car.
Insurances, whether auto, health, house or any other type, all follow the same principle. It is meant to pay for expenses that will be incurred once the reasons for claim (the event for which the insurance was purchased for) indeed happen. Knowing that we can never predict the happenings in our life and we want to have some level of assurance that in case a disease, accident or disaster happens to us, we will be capable of taking care of ourselves. We will not be helpless and we have the resources to have the best possible care for ourselves.
Auto insurances, meanwhile, usually covers expenses incurred to restore the car to its original condition, after a collision. When you lease a car, you agree to be responsible for it during the time it is leased to you, including repairs in case of a collision. This can be very costly and would surely spoil all the fun of your holiday. There are many auto insurance agents in Georgia and you can scout around for the best rates.
