How to update your insurance after buying a car

Congratulations on your new car! Whether it’s your first car or an upgrade, getting your insurance in order is an essential step to ensure you’re fully covered. Here’s what you need to know:

Why Updating Your Insurance is Crucial

As soon as you buy your new car, you need to update your insurance policy. If you’re purchasing from a dealership, they may require proof of insurance before you can drive off the lot. This means you’ll need to contact your insurance provider right away.

Following Up is Important

While some dealerships might promise to contact Lacher to update your insurance with the new vehicle details, we strongly recommend following up directly with us. This ensures your new car is properly added to your policy.

What to Do if You Buy a Car on the Weekend

If you purchase your car outside of our business hours, don’t worry – you’re still covered. To keep everything on track, leave us a detailed message with the following information:

  1. Your Name and Contact Information
  2. The Make, Model, and Year of your new car
  3. The Vehicle Identification Number (VIN)
  4. The Purchase Date
  5. Financing or Leasing Details (if applicable)

Once we’re back in the office, we’ll process your update to ensure your new car is added to your policy without delay.

Temporary Coverage and Avoiding Gaps

Your current insurance policy often provides temporary coverage for newly purchased vehicles. However, it’s vital to notify us as soon as possible to prevent any potential gaps in coverage.

We’re Here to Help
