How can I add a second car back to my insurance policy?

Can I add a car back to my insurance policy? I bought a new car and had planned to trade in my older one. However, once I got to the dealership, I realized I would rather keep both vehicles. I had already removed the old one from the policy. What can I do now?

“You are free to change your mind and add your prior car back to your insurance policy!
Since you have already removed your older vehicle from your
car insurance
, you need to contact your insurance company and add it back right away.
If it is within a day or two from when the vehicle was removed, advise your insurance company that you maintained possession of the car and it doesn’t have any new damage. They may be able to add it back to the policy without a lapse in coverage.
If they can’t, it will be added to the policy the day after you contact them.
Most of the time, this is a transaction you can make online or in your insurance company’s mobile app if they have one.
