How can I check my car insurance company’s name?

I have a car I’ve been holding onto and insuring for my niece while she’s away. She’s coming home soon. How do I check which car insurance company this car is under?

The easiest way to find the name of the insurance company’s name is by finding your
proof of insurance
. This is usually kept somewhere safe or easy to access while driving. Check:
  • The glove box of the car
  • Inside the car manual
  • The visor
  • Your wallet
If you can’t find the policy card, you can check a few more places:
  • Bills from an insurance company
  • Bank account statements for auto payments from an insurance company
  • Your local DMV
  • Your local state’s department of insurance
You may also want to also call your insurance company. There’s a chance you added her car onto your own policy (which should have gotten you a multi-vehicle discount).
If the insurance on the car has lapsed, then it’s important to make sure she gets coverage before she or anyone else drives the car. If you need a new insurance policy,
