Did you know that before you can register a vehicle in Arizona, you must show proof of financial responsibility? This can be in the form of a certificate of insurance, a bond, or certificate of deposit or cash in the amount of $40,000. The minimum requirements for auto insurance in Arizona are: 15/30/10 — or $15,000 per person and $30,000 per accident for Bodily Injury and $10,000 per accident for Property Damage.
Comprehensive Auto Insurance Coverage in Arizona
As in most states, many car insurance policies in Arizona include additional protection in the form of "Comprehensive" coverage which can include insurance vehicle theft (hope you don't have a '94 Accord); windshield and other glass damage; damage caused by fire; hail damage; water damage; vandalism; hitting an animal. Always refer to your auto policy for detailed coverage information or give your Arizona insurance agent a call.

Can't Get Auto Insurance in Arizona?
If you're like many Arizona drivers with a canceled auto insurance policy, or one that has not been renewed (you were dropped by your insurance company), you many find it difficult to find affordable coverage — if any at all. Take a few minutes and get quotes from multiple Arizona insurance agents. If you are unable to find insurance, check out the Arizona Automobile Insurance Plan.
Every insurance company in Arizona has different way of determining pricing for different drivers. As a result, the points on your record may have a more significant impact with one insurer versus another. As always, it pays to shop around. Once you have cheap car insurance with a particular Arizona carrier, your insurer likely has the right to review your driving record. In fact, some insurers will review your record very regularly; they may review as often as once a year on your policy renewal date.
Except in a few states, budget-minded drivers like you need to understand that credit history can affect how much you pay for car insurance. In states where credit is used for underwriting and payment options, insurance companies use your basic credit information into formulas that also take into account your accident history, years you have been driving, where you live, your age, gender and assorted other relevant facts about you.
