You definitely want to check with your insurance carrier first to ask about whether you can keep your plan, and IF you keep your plan whether you will have to go through the underwriting process again.

But also, it depends to a huge degree on the state where you're moving. Every state has its own variation of consumer protection and its own commitment (or lack thereof) to making sure all residents have insurance.

Some states have guaranteed issue (and varying versions of it) which means they're required to sell you a policy. (It doesn't mean the policy will be inexpensive, however.)

States now also have the pre-existing condition insurance plan (PCIP) - the federal risk pool program - and 34 states have their own risk pool plans. These, again, all vary in price and benefits, waiting periods, etc. You need to do your homework, which may include contacting the new state's consumer assistance program.

Can a car be registered and insured in one state to be driven in another?

Registration and insurance in any state will allow you to operate the vehicle in every state, but if you are actually living in another state, you must get insurance, registration, and a driver's license in your state of residence. The only exception I know of is that a member of the armed services may keep all of these from his state of "permanent residence" while stationed in another.

Can you continue to keep one state's auto insurance and move to another state?

If you change your registration to that state, you'll have to change your insurance with it. Keeping your car registered in a state where you do not reside can result in your policy being cancelled, or you getting a ticket for not having your car registered where you reside. (Especially if you get into an accident.)


Can I keep my auto insurance when I move?

If you are in the process of moving within the state, you will be allowed to keep your auto insurance. While you can keep the same insurance policy within the state you will be required to change your address which can affect your rates depending on the claims reported in your zip code. If you are moving out of state, you will be required to change insurance to a policy that is rated in the new state. DMV and financial responsibility laws require drivers to carry insurance in the state in which they are a legal resident. When you register your vehicle in the state you will be required to show proof of insurance in that state and you will also be required to carry at least the state minimums in liability insurance coverage.


If I work full-time and have health insurance. Can I drop the health insurance when medicare kicks in ?

It might be a good idea to keep both. If you don't have to pay anything for the insurance through your job, I would definitely keep both. If you have prescriptions that are expensive or brand named, you may want to keep your current policy.
