[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]did you call your agent friday to add car to your policy? [/quote]

We didn’t (totally didn’t think of it!) but [b]geico has a 30 day grace period,[/b] so we should be good. Obvs will remember to do that at the dealership for any subsequent cars. Geico let us add the car right after the accident but it’s taking a little more time because they have to verify the sequence of events. [/quote]

Not just Geico... you have 30 days to add your car. [/quote]

Really?  When I bought my car a couple years ago I had to show proof of insurance on the new car before they let me drive off the lot.  [/quote]

Yea, you need to show proof of insurance (i.e., you have one) but not on the new car. When I picked up my new car yesterday, I just had to prove that I have insurance. i was told to call and add within 30 days. [/quote]

OP here: this is what happened- we showed our car insurance card but honestly I didn’t make the connection or needing to call. I’m very thankful there is a grace period, but do with the car dealership had reminded us (not that it’s their responsibility, but a friendly heads up). And for those asking what I want, I was just trying to figure this out. Two days ago we had a car with no accident on it and that was one of the selling points of the car we traded in. I just wasn’t sure if that was incorporated into the costs. [/quote]
