company to determine how long they’ll hold a quote for you, most quotes expire after 30 days. That said, rates vary with insurance companies and change often. If you are shopping in advance and don’t purchase a policy until a few weeks later, you may pay more as you’ve lost an early shopping discount.
Also worth noting is that some insurance companies don’t pull all their final reports until after you’ve agreed to purchase a policy. If that happens, you can see a rate increase from your original quote should they find accidents, claims, or a
