How many times can I transfer my insurance to another car?

Is there a limit on how many times I can transfer my insurance? I bought a new car from the dealership and after the first time I updated the policy, I found out that the dealer gave me the wrong VIN. So after I fixed that, I found out that I can get a better deal with a car of a different color. Can I transfer my policy again? And is there a limit on how many times I can transfer it?

Yes, you can transfer your policy as much as you need to! Most of the time, these are easy changes to make online or via your provider’s mobile app. In this case, I suggest calling your agent directly.
Since there have been so many changes in a short period of time, here are some things to look out for:
  • Is the effective date of your change correct?
  • Do you have the correct
    ID card?
  • Is the right
    finance company
    listed on the paperwork?
  • Do you have the exact coverages you need?
These are little errors that can cause big trouble at the dealership when you arrive to pick up your car—so it’s good to ensure that everything is in order ahead of time!
