Reader’s Question:
I’m in Washington state for a business for 5 months and I am planning to purchase a car. I have an international license, can I drive around the US license and change insurance companies every month?

Thank you for asking Luis.
It will be hard to get around the issue of getting a US license for auto insurance by switching insurance carrier every month or so. It is not easy to get car insurance with a foreign or international license at first and then if you start to cancel insurance every few weeks it will show up when you are trying to get new car insurance. Insurance carriers will likely see this as a red flag and will not want to insure you.
Usually, the Department of Motor Vehicle keeps tabs of insurance polices, when they cancel, terminate or lapse, to make certain a vehicle is not without insurance. If you change insurance providers so often, this might cause the DMV to become suspicious. I would suggest that you may get a Washington state license first if you want to buy a vehicle, it might not be as difficult as you think.
Goodluck!
