I Bought a New Car: Can I Add the New Car to My Existing Auto Insurance Policy?

At Stonewall Grace Insurance, we are pleased to offer auto insurance policies to greater Buena Vista, VA residents. However, we have found that many people are confused about adding a new car to an existing auto insurance policy and what the rules are regarding this. As such, we want to help answer any questions you may have. 

Can I Add a New Car to My Existing Auto Insurance Policy? 

You can add a new car to your existing auto insurance policy. An auto insurance policy will allow you to add or remove cars, and the price may be adjusted when you do so. 

What If I Buy the Car After the Insurance Company Is Closed For the Evening? 

Many auto insurance companies have a grace period for adding new cars. This means that your new vehicle is covered, even if it is not yet on your policy, as long as you are within the grace period, your insurance company covers it. 

How Long Do I Have to Add a New Car to My Existing Auto Insurance Policy? 

Most insurance companies give you two to four weeks to add a new vehicle to your existing auto insurance policy. Check the wording on your policy to find out how long you may have. 

If you already have auto insurance, your auto insurance policy likely covers a brand-new vehicle for a brief period. After that time, you either have to add the car to your policy or obtain a new auto insurance policy for the vehicle. The team at Stonewall Grace Insurance, helping residents in the Buena Vista, VA area, would love to help you with this. Reach out to us today to learn more.
