No, if you no longer drive the car and you were responsible for paying the insurance premium, you can contact the insurer and advise them that you are cancelling the policy. Do it using a registered letter that requires a signature so that you can prove the date that you cancelled and that the insurer has received the notice of cancellation.
What does maximum capital mean under insurance?
The business of insurance is regulated by the States, not the Federal Government. Therefore, the answer to the question depends at least upon the following variables: 1. The State that will be the domicile of the insurer; 2. The kind and type of insurance that will be offered (such as property and casualty, health, life, etc.) 3. The anticipated number of policies to be issues, as measured by the amount of risk that the insurer is assuming. The main role of the insurance regulator is to ensure the claims-paying ability of the insurer. Therefore, these, and other factors, will dictate your answer.

In insurance what does overhead and profit mean?
In those states that regulate insurance rates, among the factors evaluated are the overhead and profit of an insurer. Overhead includes salaries, upkeep on buildings, taxes, and those other usual and customary expenses that attend operating a business. An additional element of overhead for an insurer is the cost of reinsurance. Reinsurance is essentially insurance for an insurer. Rather than assuming all of the risk placed with the insurer by the policyholders that take out policies with it, the insurer will "off-load" some of the risk to a reinsurer in return for paying the reinsurer a premium. In order to stay in business, and for keeping the business worthwhile, the insurer will need to earn a reasonable profit. Regulators are sensitive to the need for a profit, but because they are concerned with the affordability of insurance for consumers, will examine the element of profit and ensure that it remains in reasonable bounds. That which is reasonable varies with the market and is a fluid concept.

Why do companies go in for group insurance?
Group insurance is distinguished from individual insurance. It exists mainly in life and health insurance. As an example, an employer will arrange with a health insurer to offer a health insurance program to all employees who wish to participate. Because the insurer will insure a bulk of people under one policy, premiums are often more favorable for the participants than they would be were those people to get individual policies. In part, that is because the risk factors that dictate what the insurer charges as premium are spread over a larger number of people. The insurer is collecting a greater overall premium from the group and can, therefore withstand a greater degree of risk of paying claims.
What are the insurance duties?
This is too broad a question to be answered succinctly, because an insurer has many duties. They depend, in part, upon the kind of insurance involved, and the legal requirements of the state in which the policy was issued. For example, under a liability policy, an insurer generally has the duty to investigate a claim made against the insured in order to determine whether it comes within the coverage of the policy. If it does not, it has the obligation to promptly notify the insured so that other arrangements for protection may be made (such as hiring ones own lawyer). If there is coverage, the insurer generally has the obligation to defend the insured by hiring a lawyer at its own expense, and paying any amounts for which the insured is found legally liable (up to the policy limits). Similarly, the insurer has an obligation to settle a claim within policy limits, and to thereby protect the insured from personal liability for any excess damages if it is possible to so settle the claim.
Does a lawyer let you know if you are a beneficiary on someones life insurance?
A beneficiary is a third party to a contract between and insurance company (insurer) and an insured (customer). Since the contract allows the beneficiary to be changed at any time (revocable beneficiary), there is no way for any attorney to know in advance whether any one person is named as a beneficiary on a contract of life insurance. If someone you know has died, your first step is to determine if any life insurance exists. This can be accomplished by going through important papers, contacting employers, looking through bank statements for payments to insurers, etc. Once located, contact the insurer to file a claim. The insurer is required in most states to provide claim forms within 30 days. Once a proof of loss (claim form) is received, the insurer will begin the process of locating and paying beneficiaries. If no beneficiary can be found (alive or otherwise), the insurer will pay the estate of the decedent. Unfortunately, paying the estate can open the claim to creditors of the decedent and probate, depending on the rules of your specific state.
