Automobile Insurance Coverage in Atlanta Georgia
Reader’s Question:
I’m from Atlanta, Georgia, and I just want to know if whether my car insurance is going to pay first, or is it my own personal insurance, in case I get into an accident?
Mike
Atlanta, GA
Well, it will depend on whether you’re driving your own car, if you borrowed it, or if it’s a rental. If you’re driving your car, both your car insurance and your personal insurance will cover you. It’ll be your owners’ policy that kicks in first, then your personal insurance will cover the rest of the excess amount. Take note that your personal insurance will cover you, not the car. This, of course, goes without saying that it wasn’t you that caused the accident. If you are at fault, you can bet your stars that the insurance company of the other person involved will go after you to try to recuperate any financial damages you may have caused. If what you’re driving, however, is not your own car, a different process is involved. There is such a thing called non-owners’ insurance policy or rental policy, and that’s a different topic altogether. As with all kinds of insurance, policies, prices and processes vary from insurance company to insurance company and from state to state.
Ask your agent there in Atlanta, Georgia. These are some of the things you should’ve known before you bought your insurance policies.

To check the specific consequences you may face from your leasing company for not carrying insurance, meaning both state liability as well as physical damage coverages of comprehensive and collision, speak with the financial institute the lease is through or read through your leasing document.

Andrew
Atlanta, GA
Although Georgia is not part of the Drivers License Compact (DLC) which VA is a part of Georgia still has agreements with other states to share ticket information and receive in information on its licensed motorists infractions out of state.
According to the GA Department of Driver Services (DDS) points could be accessed to your GA driving record after a infraction of a Virginia traffic ticket since they will be informed by the Virginia courts or see it when they connect to the National Registry.
So if you are convicted of the VA traffic ticket it will go on your GA driving record and points could have assigned to it. It will likely depend upon if the offense is points worthy in Georgia or not. If it is an infraction that normally is assigned points in GA then it will most likely be assigned points even the violation occurred out of state.

Reader’s Question:
My mother bought me a car but she lives in Alabama and I live in Atlanta Georgia. Can she insure it in AL and I tag it here in GA?
Brenda
Atlanta, GA
The answer is No. The Georgia laws states that you will need to have your vehicle insured in Georgia if your registration and license plates are from Georgia. Even if Georgia did allow you to have an out of state insurance company cover your car it would likely be difficult to find an insurance carrier that would cover a car that was insured in Alabama but driven and kept out of state in Georgia.
If your name is on the title of the vehicle your mother bought for you then it should not be difficult for you to get your own car insurance on the vehicle. If your name is not on the title then there are some insurance providers that will allow you to get insurance without insurable interest in the vehicle, but it would be easier for you to place coverage on the vehicle if your name was added to the car’s title.
