“Getting car insurance on a new car is easy, so don’t stress.
If you already have insurance, adding a new car to your insurance is simple. You will have a grace period to get your new vehicle added to your current policy. The grace period can be anywhere from seven to 30 days.
Before you look for insurance, go
car shopping
. Having a good idea of the type of car you want to buy will be important when looking for insurance quotes. By finding out which car you want, you can get accurate quotes that can help you plan and budget for car ownership.
One important aspect of note is that your car insurance coverage is dictated by how you’re purchasing the vehicle. If you’re paying cash, you can choose whether you want liability or full coverage, although full coverage is highly recommended. If you’re financing a car, the lender will require that you have full coverage, so budget accordingly.
