How do I change my address with my car insurance?
I’m moving from New York City to LA. I know I’ve got to update a lot of stuff, but how do I change my address with my insurance provider?

To change your car insurance address, contact your provider or update the address in your online profile.
You have two choices: either keep your current provider or look for another one.
Stay with the same company: Contact them with your new address. However, your rate will change as rates and
insurance requirements
vary from state to state.Get quotes from multiple companies: Use a
comparison
app to get quotes from various companies using your new zip code. You may discover another insurer offers a better rate in your new location.Finally, if you’re moving to
California
, we recommend contacting your local CA DMV to inquire about what other changes need to be made. The DMV can advise you on the correct course of action, which may include:- Getting anew CA license
- Updating yourvehicle registration
- Surrendering your old vehicle plates
- Getting new vehicle plates
- California-specific paperwork
You have a short grace period to complete this change of address, but don’t put it off too long! You could be denied coverage or charged with insurance fraud if you try to file a claim without updating your coverage.
