Car Insurance Question  I want to get a loan and buy a car. However, I dont know what insurance I'm forced to get in that case. Could I get basic insurance? Or, am I obliged to get the full coverage insurance? (I want the cheapest kind of insurance, so if I am allowed to get a basic insurance please tell me.)

There is really no such thing as "full coverage." Most people use this term to refer to physical damage coverage. Physical damage coverage consists of collision and comprehensive coverage. Generally, collision insurance covers damage to your automobile caused by collision with another object or by upset. Comprehensive insurance covers damage to your automobile from vandalism, theft or glass breakage. Most lienholders require physical damage coverage if you are financing or leasing your vehicle. So, you will need to contact your vehicle's lienholder to see if they will require the physical damage coverage.
