Need car insurance for one month

[BruinGuy]

Well I need some advice. I bought a car yesterday, and need insurance. I was talking to AAA, and thier rates are the best, if I start after aug 1st since they have a policy change then. So I need insurance for 1 month in the mean time. I talked to eastwood, and thier rates suck, since I have to pay a fee to start the policy, it would be something like $300 for the first month.

I have a clean driving record, where might you guys go if you needed basic insurance for one month?

why not just go public transportation for 1 month ?

I'd get an 'In Transit' vehicle insurance pass which lasts 2 weeks then go somewhere else and get another one after those 2 weeks are up.

Total cost - $40.

Keep in mind though, they punish you if you don't have uninterupted insurance for the last bajillion years.

Where do you get "in transit" insurance?

I would, but I start a real job in a week, and I have had enough of wearing a tie and slacks on the bus when I was going for job interviews.

Does anyone know of a company, that you can pay monthly for? One where I could sign up for a 6 month stint, and cancel after 1 month?

progressive. Sign up online, and cancel after you're done.

Most insurance companies will refund on a short-rate, not pro-rata basis. That's to discourage the type of usage you are suggesting.

Perhaps if they issued a temp binder for coverage, you could have coverage for a limited period of time.
