If you’re in the market for a new vehicle, it is important to consider the cost of auto insurance when determining your budget. Depending on the make, model, age, and fuel economy of the car that you ultimately choose, the insurance premium could end up being the most expensive cost associated with maintaining it.

All car accidents are stressful, but when the at-fault driver does not have insurance, any victims face the possibility of falling into debt due to medical bills and lost income. Sadly, this scenario is alarmingly common in the United States. According to the Insurance Information Institute, approximately 1 in 8 motorists were uninsured in 2012. Although this number has declined in recent years, getting into a collision with an uninsured or underinsured driver is still a very real possibility.
