While car prices dip lower and gradually come back down to pre-pandemic levels, more Americans are still feeling the financial pinch from car ownership — because of insurance.
Yeah, I moved 12 miles away once and it would have doubled my insurance. I just made a deal with the apartment owners that they would grab my insurance bills and I would keep my address there on insurance forms. I moved from that new place a couple years later into a new apartment, and the insurance was still much higher than my original zip code (though not doubled). I just kept my insurance at the first place for the next 6 years, because there was no impact on a daily basis.
It wasn’t until I bought a house and was forced to change my address for house insurance that I finally “moved” away from that first apartment.
I’m not sure I’m understanding. You were living at place B, but your insurance was registered to place A? Wouldn’t the insurer then deny any claims if something were to happen at place B?
