Massachusetts car insurance laws
MA car insurance laws don’t have to be confusing. Bankrate breaks them down.

My first house was a townhome, and setting up the insurance was difficult because no one ever explained the nuances that come along with insurance for a home that shares walls with other homes. My agent (provided by the builder) kept asking me for information I didn’t understand (and didn’t know where to find it), so the entire process was frustrating and time-consuming. I wish I’d had access to the type of content we write on Bankrate back then to make things easier. I think about that experience whenever I edit content for our site to ensure that we make complex topics simple to understand so busy professionals can get the information they need to properly insure themselves and move on.
