Question
Is there a grace period for buying car insurance in GA from private seller?
Is it a Georgia law when buying a car from a private seller that there is a grace period to get it insured? I am already insured and wanted to buy another car.
Answer
While all cars need to be registered and insured by law in Georgia, the amount of time you are allowed to drive a new vehicle before adding it to your car insurance policy depends heavily on who you are insured by: some companies give you 30 days, some don't even offer a grace period. Therefore, we recommend contacting your current car insurance company and ask about their rules and regulations on buying a new vehicle.
