What a great opportunity! Your insurance costs may go up or down depending on the
minimum insurance laws
in your new state. Your first step should be to call your current insurance company.
You’ll need to find out:
  • If your current company offers coverage in your new state
  • How much your insurance will cost in your new state
If you need to find a new insurance carrier or you just want to find lower rates, try the
Jerry
app. In less than 45 seconds, Jerry collects all of your information from your existing insurer and provides you with up to 50 quotes from top insurance companies like Nationwide and Progressive. Jerry will even help you cancel your old policy.
On top of that, you may be able to save money on car insurance in your new hometown by seeking out discounts. See if any of these are applicable to your new policy:
  • Telematics discounts
  • Professional organization discounts
  • Alumni association discounts
  • Homeowners discount
Best of luck with your new adventure!
