How long does it take for car insurance to start? Do all policies start as soon as you sign up?
Teddy Y asked:
A friend of mine was in an acciedent but their insurance doesnt start til December. Is this possible? Do car insurance companies actually allow a driver to be uninsured for a month before starting their policy?

That depends. That’s why you have to read all the details of the contract to be sure.
RAP Q
I have only heard of that if they currently have insurance with another insurer. Ussually you tell the insurance company when you would like to have your policy start, but if you do not have insurance on your vehicle, it is not legal to drive it until your insurance has started. If your friend gets into a accident before the policy starts, then they will not get covered. Better be careful.
I’ve had good info about it here:
Take care.
