Is there anything to do after an at fault accident besides paying much higher rates?

Take a defensive driving course, to get a 10% insurance discount

You learn something new every day. Unfortunately, I learnt the hard way. At no point, should you ever ever be without Coverage (Even if you dont have a vehicle at the moment). All Insurances want to see continuous coverage. Otherwise, you will be left with a lapse in Coverage. This results in them viewing you as a brand new driver and all your driving experience erased. But of course the negative aspects remain- Tickets, Accidents etc. This leaves you with much higher rates and a major headache to deal with. Gotta start from scratch. Just wish I would've known this before

So if I have a car then don't want a car I should have the car insured? If I sell it to someone how am I supposed to have it insured?

If you're getting another car within a week or two it's worth just keeping the insurance active. if it's longer then you can get what's called a named non owner policy which gives you insurance history so you won't pay exorbitant rates when you do buy your next car

Yes they do offer bundle discount.
Best is to get a quote form them and compare

Is she ever going to drive your car?

If so, yes and yes.

If not, it probably won't go up if you specifically exclude her from the policy, but you definitely are supposed to let them know, perhaps can wait until renewal.

They're great if you never need them. In an incident, that's a diff story.
