Moving House-- New Home? New State?
New Auto Insurance?
Whether you’re moving across town or across the country, you’ll need to inform
your auto insurance company of your new address. And in some cases, you may even
want to adjust your auto insurance coverage levels so that you’re adequately
protected in your new location.
Change of Address
It’s a good idea to let your auto insurance company know about your change of
address as soon as possible. Your auto insurance company may adjust your premium
for your new address.
You could end up paying more for your new auto insurance, or you could find
that your auto insurance premium has decreased in your new location! Your auto
insurance rate depends on many factors, including insurance laws in your state
and your area’s loss history.
Don’t Wait to Report
If you wait too long to update your contact information and you’re involved
in an accident, your auto insurance company could refuse to pay any claims
you’ve had since you moved. To help ensure your claims are paid, always pay
your auto insurance premium on time and make sure your account is up-to-date.
It’s easy to update your address and ZIP Code when you’re an Esurance policyholder.
You can make changes to your policy, print your insurance cards, and report claims
any time day or night.
More Assets Mean More Auto Insurance
During a move you may acquire more assets. For example, you may sell your house
and buy a more expensive one in a nicer neighborhood. Anytime you acquire
additional assets, you should adjust your auto insurance policy to protect them.

insurance needs.
If there’s a move in your future, plan ahead by getting an auto insurance
quote from Esurance. Type in the Zip Code of your new home, get a quote for
auto insurance, and then use our comparison quote feature to see auto insurance
quotes from other companies. This way, you’ll know you’re getting the best deal
possible on your auto insurance.
