Need Car Insurance Today

[vbcruiser]

I have an unusual car insurance issue:

- I am a Canadian Citizen
- Costa Rica resident
- Buying a new 2012 Subaru in Houston, Tx
- Driving the car from Houston to Spokane, Washington where the car will reside.

I had a quote from AllState then the insurance agent called me back and said the underwriter wouldn't insure the car because I have a Costa Rica driver's licence.

Any ideas on how I can get insurance to drive the car from Houston to Spokane?

Couple of things....
The Costa Rican license is only an issue for a few companies (Allstate, probably State Farm, maybe Farmers, etc). There are MANY companies that will write this without blinking an eye though.

You need to buy your policy in Washington, not TX. Buy it where you reside and where the car will be garaged. You'll have to call a broker in Washington, but they will take care of it.

I'm not licensed to transact business in Washington state, so I can't really recommend anyone/any carrier. Just a phone call or 2 to a broker in your hometown will get you covered though.

P.S. Expect them to ask for pictures of the car if you want full coverage. Someone calling my office in this situation would make me very nervous about writing the business. Its the fact that you are out of state getting coverage to drive a car home is a red flag for many agents.

Don't goto a Big Name insurance agency, find the one that probably has advertisements in english and spanish, they can always insure people with foreign driver's licenses
