“Since driving
without insurance
is extremely dangerous and illegal in most places, looking to renew your policy is a savvy move! However, you may not be able to renew your policy. After a 30-day
insurance lapse
, you have to reapply for insurance even if it’s with the same company.To learn your options, call your
car insurance company
. An agent can tell you whether renewing or reinstating your prior policy is a possibility. If it isn’t, you should find out what the cost of starting a new policy would be.While you may have liked your previous policy, shopping around never hurts. You may be able to find a better rate than what you were previously paying.
