INSURANCE ANSWERS TO KNOW Question: I am going to buy another car. What do I have to do to switch my insurance to the new vehicle. Answer: Under a standard insurance policy one has 14 days to transfer the-insurance from one vehicle to another. During this time your new vehicle is covered for the same benefits as the vehicle you have replaced. However. if you report the change more than N days after the actual date that you have owned the vehicle. you have been driving without coverage from the date of change, not the days beyond the HI days in which you had time to report the change. Another point to remember is. that you are only covered for the same benefits as the old vehicle had. he. If you did not have collision on your old car. and your new car should have it. the collision coverage will not be on until you have specifically asked your agent to add it on. As a general practice. the safest thing is to call your agent before taking delivery of your new vehicle. It avoids misunderstandings, and possible problems.
