“An Impala is one sweet ride, so congratulations! And even better news: getting car insurance on a new vehicle is easy.
If you already have an insurance policy, you don’t need to worry until after you’re off the lot. Insurance companies give you a grace period to get your new vehicle on your current policy. This can be anywhere from seven to 30 days.
If this is a new insurance policy, things go a little different. If you want to drive right off the lot, you should have insurance before you buy the car. But before you look for insurance, do some preliminary
car shopping
. Having a good idea of the type of car you want to buy will be important when looking for insurance quotes.
How you buy the car is also important. If you’re financing the car, the lender will mandate full coverage car insurance while paying cash will provide you with the ability to choose whatever coverage you want.
