Question

Can I insure a car with a rebuilt title?

I purchased a car thinking it had a clean title. This was not the case— the only reason it has a rebuilt title is because it was impounded by the city of Cleveland Ohio. If it was impounded it would have a clean title there was no damage or anything to the car.

To get insurance on a vehicle with a rebuilt title, you need to find the proper insurer since not every company does. It’s important to note that most carriers will only insure vehicles with salvage or rebuilt titles for liability coverage only. You can do an online quote or call into the agency to speak to one of our Licensed Insurance Advisors. They can assist in finding you the right carrier that best meets your insurance needs.
