Until then I need to drive my car to and from work, and to do other things throughout the week. That is why I asked this question. | |
| May 29, 2018 at 17:43 | comment | added | quid | @aquaballin, sure, but the car is in the shop getting fixed. You can't cause a 10 car pile up if you don't have the car.... If you just need liability insurance because you're driving a rental, then go buy liability only, then when you get your car back, add the comprehensive coverage for the car. And you can bind the insurance the same day, there's no application delay. | |

He pretty much immediately sold the car and I figured the insurance piece would have been simply transferred, but that did not happen unfortunately. | |

| May 29, 2018 at 17:27 | comment | added | mhoran_psprep | who did you have for the last few years? | |
| May 29, 2018 at 17:24 | comment | added | aquaballin | Well I have been hit by other drivers 4 times in the past two years and the wait time for the claim evaluation can be a couple of days. I guess I have this worst case scenario in my head where somewhow I manage to cause a 10 car pile up and kill like 2 people... all while having no insurance. I know that seems extreme, I'm just willing to pay whatever to make sure everything is covered. | |
