How far in advance can you get car insurance quotes?

I'm looking into purchasing a new policy for my Nissan Versa. How far ahead can I start gathering quotes so that they'll still be accurate?

Reviewed by Shannon Martin, Licensed Insurance Agent.
“While you can look for a new insurance policy at any time, gathering quotes up to four weeks in advance can help you save money on
car insurance
. If you start looking early, you’ll have more time to spend comparing policies and finding the right one for you.
Before deciding to switch insurance companies, be sure to check with your current company. Some insurers charge cancellation fees if you cancel before your current term ends.
Once you know any fees that may be associated with a switch, you can start shopping around. It’s recommended to gather quotes from at least three different companies to find the best coverage and price.
If you’re looking for a good place to start comparing quotes, the
Jerry
 app can help. Jerry helps you gather information on policies from up to 50 providers in seconds. And the best part–Jerry does this for free.”

Is 200 miles enough range for electric cars?
I don’t drive that much since I work from home, and I’ve been looking at some used EVs like the 2017 Volkswagen e-Golf. It doesn’t have a huge range, and I’m wondering if I get a car close to a 200-mile range, if it will be enough to benefit from having one? I’m worried about it running out of juice when I’m on the road. Is 200 miles enough range for electric cars?
