Q. Can you insure me if I don’t have a US drivers license?
A. We have companies who will insure drivers with international, foreign drivers licenses. They will even insure owners of vehicles who have no license at all. If you don’t have a drivers license having insurance does not give you permission to drive. You are supposed to have the car driven by someone who has a valid license.
Q. If I make a claim, will my Insurance Company non-renew my policy?
A. A lot depends on the type of claim and how much it was for. However, as we work with many Insurance Companies, we will almost always find another one for you if your insurance company does not want to renew your policy.
Q. What do I do if I have an auto accident?
A. First, take photos of the scene using the camera on your phone or else keep an inexpensive disposable camera in your glove compartment to take pictures of the vehicles, the scene, and the people involved. This helps prove who was actually there. Don’t be shy about using it! Make sure your current proof of Insurance is in your glove compartment at all times. (It’s also the law.)
Try to get relevant details from the other person, or persons, involved. At the very least you need:
- Their name, address and phone number
- The name of their Insurance Company and their policy number
- License plate and serial number
If possible, file a police report. If you need help completing the forms we can help you.
