Can I Get An Auto Insurance Quote In A State I Don’t Live In?

Q: Can I get an auto insurance quote in a state I don’t live in? I’m moving and I plan on getting auto insurance in another state. Would it be smart to get an quote before I go?

AIS Answer: Yes and yes. You can absolutely get an auto insurance quote if you know where you’re living. The exact location/physical address will be important if you want to get a binding quote. It’s not advised that you actually start a policy before you live there though, so getting that quote right before you move is a good idea as binding quotes should be good for a short period of time.

If you plan on moving within a relatively short amount of time it is smart to plan ahead. You do it for the move right? You’d look for schools for your children too, it should be no different with auto insurance.

At the moment you may be with a company that saves you a good amount of money off of your premium each year for the city and state you live in, but, what if they didn’t provide coverage in your new state? And an even greater possibility is that they may not even provide the best coverage at the best price in that area.

There are a lot of local competitors in every market, and chances are you don’t even have the best deal on auto insurance in the area you live in now. It’s important to get as many quotes as you can because it’s easy to switch insurance companies at any time (though it’s recommended to do this before policy renewal).

If you’re moving to another state and you’re taking a vehicle and you know exactly where you’re going to live, get a few quotes. Call an independent auto insurance agent in the area and ask them to find the best auto insurance rates with the right amount of coverage and the odds are very good they can save you a bit of money.
