How long do I have to change car insurance after moving?
I am moving to NY at the end of August and I will need to update my auto insurance. How long after I move do I need to change my car insurance?

Congrats on the move! If you are moving to a new state and need to switch your auto insurance policy, you typically have 30 to 90 days after you complete your move to update or switch your policy.
The auto experts at Jerry generally recommend that you
update your car insurance
as soon as possible to avoid any complications.For one thing, you’ll want to take care of the switch sooner rather than later because many states won’t allow you to register your vehicle in them unless it’s covered with insurance.
First, you’ll want to double-check that your provider indeed offers coverage in your new state, especially if it’s a midsize company. Even if they do cover you in the new state, their rates might not be as competitive as in your previous location.
