Auto Insurance is a contract between an individual (the policyholder) and an insurance company. It provides financial protection and coverage in case of accidents, damage, theft, or other events related to the insured vehicle. The primary purpose of auto insurance is to help the policyholder mitigate the financial consequences that can arise from unexpected situations involving their vehicle.
