Will my car insurance cover me if I go on a fall foliage road trip in another state?

My girlfriend and I really want to go on a fall foliage trip in Virginia. We’re from South Carolina. Will my car insurance still cover me while we’re on the road in another state?

“Absolutely! Yes, your car insurance will cover you while on a road trip in another state.
As long as your trip isn’t a permanent move, your
car insurance
 will follow you.
Even if you only have the minimum coverage
required by your state
, your car insurance company will automatically adjust your policy to match the minimums required by the state you’re visiting.
If you feel your insurance is lacking or have questions about coverage options, check out the
Jerry
 app. Jerry can help you find great coverage at a great price by gathering competitive quotes from top providers and delivering low-cost rates straight to your phone. And if you have any questions, Jerry’s friendly agents are just a text away.
Enjoy that fall scenery!”
