You should add immediately but if you have an existing policy, you do have 30 days to add the vehicle but under the same coverage you currently have. For example if you currently insure an old vehicle with liability only and you go purchase a brand new vehicle it would be covered immediately but just with the liability only. You would want full coverage on a new vehicle.
