Having a bad credit doesn't mean that you cannot get a good insurance policy for your car. In fact, most of the time you'll find a car insurance policy, but with substantially higher than normal rates. The first thing you can do is search for an insurance company specializing in giving deals to people with a bad credit history. There are some companies that do this, and you may be able to get a good deal.
 If you still cannot find an auto insurance policy for you, there are some things you can do to help your search for car insurance. Some of these are:
• Consolidate your debt and make your monthly payments. This may help you improve your credit rating in a relatively short amount of time.
• Do your research. Regardless of your bad credit rating, you are still a potential customer. In fact, because of the higher rates that they can charge you, individuals with a poor credit history in the past and a good present situation are attractive customers for many insurance companies.
• If you've already paid your debt but still have the bad credit history hanging over your head, consider getting “bad credit” loan.
• Another viable option may be purchasing an older or cheaper vehicle. Then waiving comprehensive and collision insurance and only getting liability insurance.
Probably the best thing you can do to get auto insurance with a bad credit history is to prove that you have a steady, full time job with a regular income. Many insurers are willing to overlook a bad credit rating if they see that you are now working and can keep up with your payments.
Most people need a car to be able to work, either to commute or to go job hunting. However, to have a car you will need car insurance to be able to legally drive it. The problem is that many insurance companies will charge you very high rates if you have a bad credit history. Putting your finances in the hands of an expert is probably the best path you can take to improve your chances of getting affordable car insurance.
