Will my auto insurance cover me in another state?

Yes, in most cases your auto insurance will cover you in another state. Every state requires its drivers to purchase a minimum level of liability coverage to operate a vehicle legally. Because Kansas is a part of the interstate system, many states have adopted similar minimums. Most auto insurance policies are written to meet the requirements of the state or states where the car is registered. This means that if you move to another state, your policy should continue to provide the necessary coverage to be in compliance with local laws. However, you should contact your insurance provider to confirm that your policy is valid in the new state and to ensure that your coverage is high enough to provide protection in the event of an accident. It’s also important to understand the differences in coverage between states. For instance, Kansas requires drivers to carry $25,000 in bodily injury liability per person, $50,000 in total per accident, and $25,000 in property damage liability. Other states may require a higher level of coverage, and it’s important to understand and comply with the requirements in the state you’re driving in. Finally, depending on your insurance provider, they may offer additional coverage, such as medical payments or uninsured motorist coverage, for accidents that occur in other states. Speak to your insurance provider about your coverage options and make sure you are adequately protected, no matter where the road takes you.
