Car Insurance Question  Will a US auto insurer provide coverage for a Canadian registered vehicle?Thank you for your help.

Insurance companies' guidelines vary from insurance company to insurance company; however most insurance companies will require that the vehicle be registered in a US state in order to insure it. There might be specialty insurance companies in the US for Canadians with this issue but we are unaware of their names at this time.

If you are bringing a Canadian car into the US for an extended period of time, you might need to check with the Canadian government regarding export laws and the US government concerning import laws.

Also, if you are going to register a vehicle there are likely state registration laws that will apply to your vehicle so check with the state's Department of Motor Vehicles in which you plan to reside to find out more information.
