Ready to save hundreds on your car insurance?
Adding a new vehicle to your existing insurance policy can be a confusing and worrying experience. But don’t worry – it’s really simple as long as you have all the necessary information. This article will help demystify the process of adding a new vehicle to an existing policy and explain how long you have to do it.
What Is an Insurance Policy?
An insurance policy is a legal document that outlines the terms, conditions, and payments for coverage. It’s the contract between you and your insurance provider, which outlines the specific coverage you have, the premium you pay, and the deductible you’re liable for in the case of an accident.
Do I Have to Add My New Vehicle to My Existing Policy?
Yes, you do have to add your new vehicle to your existing policy. This is because your existing insurance policy only covers the vehicles you’ve already listed on it. If you don’t add your new vehicle, your existing policy won’t cover it in the event of an accident.

How Long Do I Have to Add My New Vehicle to My Existing Policy?
The time frame you have to add your new vehicle to your existing policy will depend on the rules and regulations of your particular insurance provider. Generally, most providers expect you to notify them of any changes to your policy within 30 days.
However, it’s important to check with your provider to make sure you know their exact time frame. Failing to do so could mean that you won’t be covered for any accidents involving your new vehicle.
What Information Do I Need to Add My Vehicle?
When you’re adding a new vehicle to your existing policy, you’ll need to provide your insurance provider with the following information:
- The make, model, and year of your new vehicle
- The VIN and license plate number
- The odometer reading
- Any safety features your vehicle has
- The type of fuel your vehicle uses
- The estimated annual miles you drive
- Your vehicle’s estimated value
