What Happens If You Change Insurance Companies?

If you change your auto insurance, you may receive a letter from PennDOT requesting proof of insurance. Be sure to respond so your vehicle registration isn't suspended. Auto insurance companies are legally required to tell PennDOT when they cancel your insurance policy. But....... your new insurance company is not required to notify PennDOT that you just bought insurance. PennDOT may assume you do not have insurance and send you a "proof" letter. Car-Lotta Reminds you that car insurance offers financial protection. If you cause a car accident, you may be held responsible for costs associated with it. These may include legal fees, the injured person's medical expenses or their lost income if their injuries leave them unable to work. Liability coverage may help pay for these costs.
