Confirm the new location’s process
Tell the current provider about the move and contact an appropriate provider for the destination. Check registration and insurance requirements with official provincial or territorial sources. Do not assume a policy or product available at the old address can simply be continued unchanged.
What must be arranged for the new address and moving date?
Keep the driving facts consistent
Update household drivers, commuting, parking and annual distance. Discuss any overlap, vehicle transport or temporary accommodation. Obtain clear start and end dates so administrative changes do not leave you relying on assumptions about which arrangement is in force.
When does each arrangement start and end during the move?
Make the next conversation useful
Bring the current documents and explain any changes. These details are a useful starting point:
- Province and registration details
- Vehicle make, model, year, and use
- Drivers to declare to the provider
Ask the provider to connect its answer to the actual policy or eligibility terms, including exclusions, dates and reporting conditions. Keep the confirmed answer with the offer.
