Insurance tip: never assume the dealership added your new car to your policy.

They may say, “We’ll call your insurance company.”

That does not mean the job is done.

Your insurance company generally needs to confirm policy changes directly with you. If the vehicle does not get added correctly and the DMV catches it, you could be the one facing a suspended license, fees, and fines.

The smart move is simple:

Call your agent yourself before you leave the dealership. Make sure the new vehicle is added and properly insured.

This is so important....if you have an elderly driver in your family what steps do you take to make sure they are good behind the wheel?

States have many policies to stop risky older drivers from renewing their licenses. But in practice, it's often adult children who must decide when to take the car keys away from an aging parent.

When you are a State Farm mutual policyholder you really own a little bit of the company.

When the company makes too much money it goes back to the owners.

AND we are also lowering rates.
