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

If you're moving for more than six months, you should purchase coverage in your new state. This will avoid potential questionable-coverage issues. Since many policies expire after six months, you would need to purchase coverage at that time anyway, 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 your car insurance agent. Also, your insurance company always wants to be notified when your driving habits change (such as how many miles you drive to work every day). Keep in mind, however, that your current car insurance policy says you are covered anywhere in the United States.
