Vehicle Insurance Cost
Reader’s Question:
I plan to travel for extended period of time and will not be taking my vehicle. Is it possible to have my car insurance suspended to save money in Knoxville?

Most states require that all registered cars carry a minimum amount of insurance coverage, thus suspending your insurance coverage may also mean dealing with the hassles of canceling or suspending your registration and reinstating it when you get back.
Whatever you do, do not stop paying your car insurance premiums. You may choose to cancel your car insurance policy in Knoxville, Tennessee, and then buy a new policy when you get back but know that a canceled auto insurance policy can appear on your credit report, and can make it extremely hard and expensive for you to obtain car insurance coverage in the future.
You have to weigh the insurance costs of canceling your auto insurance coverage and starting it again versus canceling your car insurance and car registration and then starting your auto insurance and car registration again.
