How To Get an Auto Insurance Card in Georgia

Reader’s Question:

Hello out there! I hear that I need some type of auto insurance card to drive in Georgia? Where can I get this card? If a friend borrows my car, can he borrow my card, as well?

Hey Ashton, what a kind friend you are to be loaning you car out to your buddies. However, before you even start driving, please make sure that you have at least the minimum insurance required in Georgia.

When you get auto insurance, your insurance provider will be the one to provide you with your insurance information card. This is your proof that you have enough auto insurance coverage to legally drive in the streets of Georgia, and this must be in your vehicle at all times. This is in case you get stopped by cops for whatever reason and they ask you to provide proof of your auto insurance coverage. If you decide to loan your car to a friend, please make sure he has your insurance information card. This card also comes in handy when you get into accidents as it will have all the essential insurance information about your car. Please do not hit the streets without this card. If you are ever caught without it, you will have to face the consequences of paying for fines and you may even have your license suspended. Driving without auto insurance may also cause your vehicle to be impounded. So, please avoid this unnecessary inconvenience and make sure that your vehicle is properly insured before driving
