What is the purpose of international car insurance?
I have an option for international car insurance on my policy. What does it cover? Why do people want it?

“The purpose of international
car insurance
is to protect you and your vehicle when you’re driving in another country either in your own car or a rental car.Most car insurance policies in the United States extend your insurance coverage to Canada. Some may also provide coverage in Mexico, although you may have to purchase an additional policy.
As insurance regulations vary between provinces and countries, having international insurance coverage ensures you’re always covered.
If you are planning to drive a vehicle or your vehicle somewhere other than the U.S., either reach out to your car insurance company or use the

app to search for rates and coverage.”View full answer
