Frequently Asked Questions About Expatriate Insurance
Can I insure a car with an international license?
Often yes—some carriers accept foreign licenses temporarily. We’ll match you to the right option and help as you obtain a MA license.
Do I need renters insurance if my building has security?
Yes—security doesn’t replace coverage for your belongings, liability, or temporary housing after a covered loss.
How soon can I get proof of insurance?
Usually the same day. We’ll issue binders or ID cards for dealerships, landlords, or lenders.
Will my foreign driving history help my rate?
Sometimes. Provide documentation and we’ll request consideration with carriers that allow it.
Can you review my policies after I move again?
Absolutely. Annual and life-event reviews are part of our service.
