Yes, you need to notify your insurance company of your address change due to moving, even if the move is not that far. If you did not inform them of your new principle address where you garage the vehicle and were in an accident, this omission of information may be seen as misrepresentation on your side and cause your claim to not be paid.

Most state's Departments of Insurance will tell you that the single most important thing you can do to protect yourself from a claim denial is to, make certain that all of the information you provide your insurance company is complete and accurate.

For instance the Massachusetts Division of Insurance states that you must indicate where your car is garaged most of the time, regardless of your listed address to your insurance company.
