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.
