When moving to a new state, the first concern about moving auto insurance is often how different the state laws in the driver's new state are from those in the current state. Drivers with a national company often have the option of staying with the same auto insurance and moving the coverage to an equivalent policy in the new state; however, some state insurance laws are so different than those of the rest of the country that some major insurance companies have stopped offering coverage in those states. If moving auto insurance is necessary because the driver’s current company does not write policies in that state, then they should be sure to research several companies online and get several quotes to know what to expect with other companies.

When moving auto insurance coverage to a new address, consumers should double check what discounts are offered in their new location. Many insurance companies offer different discounts state-by-state.

Drivers who move from states that have no-fault insurance to new states are often pleasantly surprised at how different their budgets look after moving auto insurance to states that assign fault in accidents.
