Atlanta Car Insurance Quotes
Reader’s Question:
My mother bought me a car but she lives in Alabama and I live in Atlanta Georgia. Can she insure it in AL and I tag it here in GA?
Brenda
Atlanta, GA
The answer is No. The Georgia laws states that you will need to have your vehicle insured in Georgia if your registration and license plates are from Georgia. Even if Georgia did allow you to have an out of state insurance company cover your car it would likely be difficult to find an insurance carrier that would cover a car that was insured in Alabama but driven and kept out of state in Georgia.
If your name is on the title of the vehicle your mother bought for you then it should not be difficult for you to get your own car insurance on the vehicle. If your name is not on the title then there are some insurance providers that will allow you to get insurance without insurable interest in the vehicle, but it would be easier for you to place coverage on the vehicle if your name was added to the car’s title.
