Your injuries and vehicle damage will not be covered. You will need to add additional coverage for that. Consider adding personal injury protection or collision coverage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Liability insurance will cover the damages if you let a relative borrow your car, and it can also be used for rental cars. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Penalties for Driving Without Car Insurance in Alabama<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you are caught driving without car insurance in Alabama, you could face the following penalties:<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to these penalties, if a vehicle is operated without liability insurance, your registration will be suspended, and you will be subject to the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Proof of current auto insurance must be submitted to reinstate your vehicle registration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Violating the state\u2019s mandatory auto insurance laws is categorized as a Class C misdemeanor.
