My daughter is financing a car in the state of Maryland. She can't afford the insurance that is required by the vehicle's lienholder. What can happen to her financially and legally for not carrying the proper insurance on a financed car? Also, can the finance company take her car back for not keeping her insurance?

Until your daughter finishes paying for the car, it belongs to the finance company. Her finance company is probably requesting she carry comprehensive and collision coverages for the vehicle.

These coverages will help cover the vehicle up to its actual cash value - so they can recoup the value of the vehicle if it is a 'total loss' in an accident. If she does not carry comprehensive and collision coverages, they can force her to carry their comprehensive and collision coverages (to protect their investment) at much increased rates. They can also repossess the vehicle which will impact your daughter's credit negatively.

Remember, she can click here to get a Maryland auto-insurance-quote to compare her rates. You can contact our knowledgeable agents (producers as they say in insurance business) toll free at 1-800-964-4859.
