What is auto insurance?
Auto insurance covers liability, medical expenses on behalf of the at-fault party in a car accident, replacing a vehicle in the event of theft, repairs, and much more. Depending on the policy’s specific terms, it may cover more or less than what we’ve listed.
What level of auto insurance does Illinois state law require?
In Illinois, drivers and vehicle owners are required to have liability insurance at a minimum. We recommend getting more coverage rather than less for car owners because it’s always better to be safe than sorry.
Do I have to change my auto insurance if I move to Illinois from out of state?
The short answer is that it depends. If your coverage does not meet Illinois’s legal requirements, you will need to change policies to match them. No matter what, you should notify your insurance company that you are moving and give them the address along with the moving date. If your insurer does not operate in Illinois, you will need to get new coverage, but it doesn’t have to be a stressful process!
