Reader’s Question:

Can I have my car insurance policy for my permanent address in Augusta, Georgia and reside somewhere else in the same state?

Bill

Augusta, GA

You should inform your car insurance agent of the garaged location of your vehicle. If this is your new temporary address you will need to tell your insurance provider of this new address. Likely the terms of your insurance policy requires you to inform your car insurance company of any change of addresses regarding you and/or your car that is being insured.

You therefore need to inform your insurance provider of your address change, even if the move is not that far and temporary. If you did not tell them of your new primary address in Augusta, Georgia where you garage the car and got in an accident, this omission of information may be considered as misrepresentation on your side and may cause your claim not to be paid.
