To submit a claim to insurance, you typically need to contact your insurance company either online, by phone, or through their mobile app. You will need to provide details about the incident or situation for which you are making a claim, such as the date, time, and location of the event, as well as any relevant documentation or evidence. The insurance company will then review your claim and determine if it is covered under your policy.
The amount that is for the loss of property is not taxable - as long as you didn't (and don't) claim a casualty loss on it for tax. (The payment means you have no tax loss).
By "only when you need it" do you mean only when you are aware of a claim or potential claim? If so, the answer is "NO". You cannot buy insurance on a burning house, so to speak.
Normally you don't have to worry about taxes. If, however, the payout is more than the adjusted basis, you have to report the extra cash as income. As claim settlements are compensation for a loss, they need not be declared unless you received more than what the car costed.
