Yes, you can certainly put your car insurance on hold, but there are some important considerations when suspending the entire policy. Between maintenance, gas, and insurance, owning a vehicle can be expensive; the good news is that you don’t have to keep paying for something if you don’t need it. Is your vehicle going to be out-of-use for a period of time? Consider reducing the coverage on your vehicle.
In the below infographic, Extra Mile introduces you to important information about putting your car insurance on hold. Consider each element before jumping into the change.

Presently I am out of the country until mid-March 2024, and my car is off the road for this period. Is it possible to keep my car insurance policy hold until March 15th and delay my semi-annual premium payment?

I am in CT. Just like putting your car insurance on hold, I am having issues registering my insured used car. Its been over 30days that I put insurance on the car and it has not moved. Is there any discount I am entitled too due to the fact that the car is insured and unable to register (due to messed up paperwork) hence unable to drive.

I have a car that sits in the garage most of the time .. maybe 3 months at a time . I just take it for maybe for a 30 mile run and then I park it again . Do I need to add the full coverage on it if I take it out everytime ?

I use this service every year, you just need to make sure that the Representative you speak to understands the vehicle is suspended and not canceled, miss understanding does happen. It also helps to make sure they send you a conformation on line or in the mail. If nor do a follow up.
We would like to suspend our coverage on the Escape. The car hasn't moved in over a year.
