, you should be honest with your car insurance company. It’s important to address any inaccurate information on your policy.
In some cases, it could be that your insurance company lists anyone who is divorced as single for rating purposes. It also could have been an oversight on your part or your agents. By addressing it with your agent or the company directly, you’ll ensure that your rate is accurate.
Although it’s unlikely that your policy would be re-rated based on the change from single to divorced, you can always shop around if it does change. Companies look at a variety of factors when determining rates. If your current company rates policies higher for divorced drivers, you may be able to find a better rate elsewhere.
