How do you find your car insurance policy number?

It’s been a while since I’ve had to look at my insurance, but I’m about to start driving frequently again. How do I find my policy number so I can check my coverage? I also forgot where I last placed my insurance card.

You likely placed your insurance card somewhere easy to access. Common spots include:
  • Your glove box
  • Inside your car manual
  • Your car visor
  • Your wallet
