How can I find out if my car has current car insurance?

I have an old pickup truck I use for work on my farm, but I want to use it for running errands because my daily driver is in the shop. It hasn't been on the road in a bit and I was wondering if there is a way I can find out if it is currently insured.

To find out if your car currently has insurance, you will want to locate your car insurance card or your
declaration page
and check the effective dates.
If you cannot find any of your policy documents, you should be able to check if your car is currently insured by visiting your
car insurance
company’s website or giving them a call. Once you contact them online or by phone, they can inform you of your insurance status and send you new documents if you need them.
If you discover you are uninsured, please stay off the roads to avoid getting
caught driving without car insurance
. Additionally, you should try the
Jerry
app. Jerry is a licensed broker that offers end-to-end support, gathers affordable quotes, and helps get you set up with a new policy quickly. The best part? Jerry will store all of your policy documents directly in the app, where you will have 24/7 access!
