Congrats on the new car! Replacing your old car with the new one on your
car insurance
policy will be a simple process. You can complete the update with your agent directly or online.Here is the information you will need to have with you when updating your policy:
- Year, make, and model of new car
- VIN of new car
- Date of purchase
- Coverage requirements
- Name and address of the lienholder if applicable
After talking to your agent, make sure you request a copy of the new policy. Once your new policy is issued, you’ll receive a copy of the updated ID cards.
Adding a new car to your policy can increase your premium, in part because new cars are more expensive than older vehicles. If you are unhappy with the new rate, shop around for a
cheaper insurance policy.
The good news is you can save on car insurance by shopping with
