question re: leasing cars and insurance
Permalink Closed

hopefully someone can help me with this..


If I lease a car in my current state (Ohio) and then move (to Minnesota), do I have to change the registration/license of the car in order to get insurance in Minnesota? Is it even possible to change the registration of a leased car? Or is it possible to get insurance in one state for a car registered to another state?


Thanks!

You don't have to for insurance purposes, your insurance follows you whereever you go - but you need to change the registration if you are moving. I know in Texas you have 30 days to change your license & registration or they can ticket you (ask me how I know )

Why wouldn't you change it? And know that the insurance in your new state will most likely be a different rate. Louisiana had the absolute worst rates because of the overall % of uninsured drivers (somewhere around 40%) - but Texas rates were way better for me with the same company, same car....Just FYI.

ETA: and yes, mine was a lease and yes you can change it. You need to treat it just like you own it.

you can get insurance policies written in the state you live in without being a resident.  So check the rates for your new state and if they are lower then get them to write the policy for you in that state.  I am not yet a resident of texas but I had to get my own insurance (my dad couldn't keep me any longer) so I called up geico and asked about the title/registration/residence questions and they wrote me the policy for the state I lived in.  Hope this helps
