How do I find out who my car insurance is with?

My mom helped me start my car insurance policy since I didn't have my own before. I was in an accident and need to file a claim. Believe it or not, I can not find any paperwork showing who my insurance company is! How can I find out the name of my car insurance company?

“Don’t worry, there are plenty of ways to find out who your
car insurance
is with and to make sure you aren’t in this situation again!
Since you can’t find any paperwork in your home, check the glove box, center console, and the trunk of your car. If your mom helped you with your policy and printed out an ID card, she may have put it in your car.
If you don’t find
proof of coverage
or any insurance paperwork in your car, try:
  • Looking through past bank transactions for a payment
  • Search your email for the keyword insurance
  • Contact the local DMV and ask if they know the name of the last insurance company for your vehicle
If none of these work, ask your mom. There is a chance she put her address and email instead of yours when setting up the policy.
Once you have located your insurance provider, print out an ID card and put it in the glove box of your car.
People lose their ID cards all of the time. Now, many insurance companies have digital ID cards that you can save on your cell phone.
If you prefer having all of your insurance information in the palm of your hands, downloading the
Jerry
app will work great for you! Jerry is an insurance comparison app that shops with over 50 insurance companies to find you the lowest rate. The best part is that all of your policy documents are saved in the app where you will have 24-hour access.”
