Can an employer verify that I have auto insurance for a new job?

Just recently, I was offered nearly double my current salary for a driving job. The employer will only let me sign a contract if I have auto insurance, but I currently don't. Right now, money is tight. Can my new employer verify if I have auto insurance?

“If you’re driving right now, you should have auto insurance. Driving without car insurance is illegal in most states, and if you get caught, you could face hefty fines.

That said, your employer probably can’t verify if you have auto insurance, but the contract will probably say that you have it. So if you’re getting this fantastic, high-paying gig, why would you lie to your employer right off the bat? This is a bad situation that’s setting you up to be dishonest and untrustworthy.

What Others Are Asking

Does home insurance cover blocked drains?

We woke up one morning to find a bunch of water in our basement. Our drains were blocked and our pipes were backing up. We had to call out a plumber to fix it. He found tree roots had grown through our pipe, causing a backup. It was expensive, so I’d like to be reimbursed if possible. Will our home insurance cover blocked drains?

Are home insurance rates going up?

I’m astonished when I think about how much more expensive my home insurance premium is now. I have good credit. I’ve never needed to make a claim before. Is this only happening to me, or are home insurance rates just going up?

If I file an auto insurance claim with GEICO after an accident, is this claim on the public record?

"I'm just curious to know who is able to see my claim. Can anyone besides insurers see it?"
