There are some states in which car insurance is not required but you are mandated by those states laws to have a type of financial responsibility in effect to cover damages you may cause in an accident if you choose to not have car insurance on your motor vehicle.
Every state requires auto insurance or that you meet financial responsibility requirements through a bond or some other way which shows you are able to pay if you cause damages to other party or property in a auto accident. Each state renews and/or changes their laws annually, so those states that had no insurance requirements in the past now do. The state of New Hampshire probably has the least amount of requirements.
Most people believe that Wisconsin does not require car insurance, which is true but you must have other means to pay for the damages you cause if you are at fault in an accident.
The cheapest depends on your driving record, your vehicle and the area of town which you live plus the deductible amount.
