Car Insurance Question  I have a car insured on my name in the state of Michigan. I have a girlfriend who lives in Canada right next to the US border. Can I leave the car with her so that she can drive to see me in the US? Will the insurance be valid?

You will need to speak with your current auto insurance provider to see if they will allow this arraignment. Likely they will not if your car is going to be residing somewhere other than your home and in a different country altogether for a long period of time. Your insurance agent might be helpful in suggesting what type of insurance would work for your situation though.

Normally US insurance is valid in Canada, if the car is going for a vacation or short period of time. You should ask your insurance company for a yellow Non-resident Inter-Province Motor Vehicle Liability Insurance Card to carry in the car when it is in Canada. This will show that your insurance company agreed to provide coverage of not less than the minimum required in the area of Canada in which the car is traveling.

For a Michigan cheap car insurance quote look no further.
