Online Auto Insurance Publishes Resource for Drivers Moving Out of State

Orlando, FL, February 21, 2011 --(PR.com)-- Relocating can bring with it a significant amount of hassle, but the process may be even further complicated when the destination is in another state, where there will be new state laws to abide by and a host of administrative tasks to square away. One consideration that should be a priority is maintaining proper auto insurance coverage during the move. This is important not only to make sure that one is in compliance with state laws, but also so that one’s assets will continuously be protected by a policy. To help guide drivers on the coverage implications of an out-of-state move, the writers at OnlineAutoInsurance.com have published a new FAQ on the subject.

For some, the move may bring a pleasant surprise in the form of lower premiums. The state in which a person lives typically affects the price of coverage, since certain states have better or worse claims histories than others. Also, the number of insurers and level of competition vary between states. In order to find out if a lower price can be obtained in a new state market, consumers can get free car insurance quotes without personal info required online that will give a comprehensive view of one’s options.

But whether new transplants will be sticking with their coverage providers or jumping ship, they should check with the DMVs of both states before making the move. That’s because some states have certain tasks that need to be taken care of before moving across their borders.

In Connecticut, for instance, residents leaving the state need to return their license plates back to the DMV and get a receipt so that they are removed from the state verification system and will not be misidentified as uninsured residents once they discontinue Connecticut–based coverage.

And soon-to-be ex–Floridians should take care to keep their insurance policies in place and register their autos in their destination state before leaving Florida. This is because Florida insurance is required of anyone who has a car registered in the state, regardless of where it’s being driven.
