Can you tell me how to verify my car insurance policy?
I'm not sure if I have active coverage on my Toyota Tacoma. Is there a way that I can verify my car insurance policy?

You’ll definitely want to make sure you have coverage! You can verify your
car insurance
policy by contacting your insurance company. The quickest method to confirm your coverage is to search for your insurance card. You get an insurance card at the start of your policy with any given company.
Most people store them inside the glove box of their vehicle as
proof of coverage
during an accident, so start the search here. Some companies also email you copies or make your insurance card available through their mobile app. Once you find the insurance card, you can call the company listed and give them your
policy number
. The agent will be able to confirm whether your policy is active or not.Another option is to look at your bank statements. If you see recent charges from your insurance company, your policy is likely still active. That said, it’s always best to confirm with the company directly as well.
Of course, you may come to the discovery that your
insurance has lapsed
. This can cause an increase in your premium, not to mention that it’s illegal to drive without insurance in most states. If you need an easy way to search for a new policy that fits your price and coverage needs, download the
Jerry
app, which saves time by eliminating paperwork and the need to search for quotes yourself. I hope you find your insurance info!
