The Truth About “Forced” Auto Insurance

The idea that banks force you to buy auto insurance when you get a truck loan is a misconception. This is simply a common way people describe the requirement to have comprehensive insurance (also known as physical damage insurance or hull insurance) for the duration of the loan. This requirement protects both parties:

• The Bank: Insurance minimizes risk for the lender. In case of damage, theft, or total loss, the bank receives compensation, safeguarding their investment.
• You (The Borrower): Insurance protects your financial interests. You won’t bear the full cost of repairs or replacement in case of an accident or other covered event.

You have the right to choose your insurance provider, policy type, and coverage level, as long as it meets the bank’s minimum requirements.

Common Insurance Types for Truck Loans

When financing a truck, banks typically require these insurance types:

• Comprehensive Insurance: Covers damage or loss to your truck from accidents, collisions, fire, natural disasters, and other covered perils.
• Compulsory Third Party Liability (TPL) Insurance: Legally required insurance that covers bodily injury and property damage caused to others by your truck.
