Switching Insurance Carriers During a ClaimMost insurance professionals advise against switching carriers haphazardly. Doing so could cause a gap in coverage, penalties or a mark against your credit if you fail to properly inform your old carrier. The best time to switch insurance carriers is just before your old policy is about to renew. With that said, it's probably best to wait, particularly if there is a claim in process. However, you should call your agent for a professional consultation.

Most likely you will. You need to notify your insurance company of the move immediately so that they can change the garaging address. Ask your agent about whether or not your company even does business in your new state. If you are an adult, you need your own insurance in your name. You vehicles should also be in your name. Whether or not your company does business in the new state or not, you need to get with an independent agent in the new state to check rates.
