Auto Insurance: Frequently asked questions

I'm moving to another state temporarily. Do I need to purchase coverage in that state?

If you are moving for more than six months, the proper procedure is to purchase coverage in your new state. That way, you can avoid any potential questionable-coverage issues. And since many policies expire after six months, you would need to purchase coverage at that time, at your new address, unless you maintain a permanent address in your home state.

If you intend to have a vehicle out-of-state for an extended period of time, check with you auto agent. There may be special problems with your coverage if you do not have your normal "drive to work" for an extended period. Keep in mind, however, that your current insurance policy says you are covered anywhere in the United States.
