As of January 2005, a “no frills” auto insurance policy became available. It was designed for drivers who do not need the full auto insurance coverage previously required by law.

No Frills offers premium savings while maintaining essential benefits.

The minimum required coverage will also usually provide, up the policy limits, coverage for other’s injuries, their property, and in some states, even coverage for your own injuries as well as protection against uninsured motorists.
