How exciting! You can
add a car
to your current insurance policy by calling your provider or making the change in your online account.
You will need to provide information about the car, such as:
  • The vehicle identification number (VIN)
  • The car’s make and model
  • The license plate number
  • Your current auto policy number
You should also ask your insurance provider if they offer multi-car discounts. Oftentimes, when you insure two cars on the same policy, your insurance company will thank you for your business by offering a discounted rate on both cars.
If it’s time for a new policy along with your new car, use insurance broker
