If you're looking for some flexibility as far as your auto insurance is concerned, you could be considering a temporary auto insurance policy. But short-term car insurance is hard to come by for multiple reasons.
Many large car insurers will not offer contract terms for periods shorter than six months. Because car insurance is mandated by law in most states, swapping policies often can be risky. You also run the risk of having gaps in your auto insurance record by changing policies often, which can lead to higher premiums in the future.
Thankfully, car insurance contracts typically last for just six months. This quick duration allows insurance companies to frequently “re-rate” — or recalculate — your premiums considering your updated driving profile and demographics.
The six-month mark is also a great chance for you to assess your insurance and considering other car insurance companies. Comparing prices via The Zebra is painless, and there is no penalty for changing insurance companies between policy terms — or even mid-term, as long as you don't let your insurance end.
Car insurance's flexible nature makes it relatively easy to purchase quickly. If you're in need of an insurance policy before you can drive your new car off the lot, trying to find a policy for a longer-term rental or seeking coverage on a car you don't own but drive regularly, consider purchasing a half-year policy and ending the agreement as needed.
