Car insurance and ID cards

We use State Farm and we get new cards every three months in the mail.

We can either have an app to show our insurance from our phone or we print our own cards. I have not had any sent to me in years.

Allstate sends ours to us.

Same for us. We have USAA.

We have met life and we can print and reprint our current cards to our hearts delight. We do however have to remember to do it every 6 months. We ALSO have to reapply every 6 months for the good student discount even thought they only use the end of the past years grades??? Like If I am using the SAME proof in 6 months why do I have to reapply?? I could see if we had to provide current grades but we do not, until end of next school year which will be a year later, you know annually. 

we have annual renewals and get new cards once a year mailed with our new policy -- we are with State Auto

Progressive sends us an email letting us know our new cards were available to print. We can also show our proof on our phones now. I prefer a hard copy and will print them out when we get that email.

1) Some insurance companies only offer semi-annual policies. It gives the company the ability to review the policy twice a year. They start charging for any at fault claims ASAP and/or set up a policy non-renewal, if the situation calls for that. When a policy renews once a year, it may take 10-11 months to start charging for an at fault loss if you have a claim shortly after the policy renews.

2) The company I work for mails a renewal packet 35 days before the current policy period expires. Your invoice, policy declarations and insurance cards are in the packet. My company makes us crazy by putting the cards on page 7-8 of the packet. Clients always miss them in the mess of papers. We want to see it changed to letter, cards, invoice, declarations and required stuffers. I'd call your agent and see if you somehow got signed up for electronic delivery of documents and they are being sent to an incorrect email or something.

Usaa sends us new cars every 6 months along with our policy renewal.

Ditto here too - also USAA

I put a recurring task in my task manager app to print new cards a week before the renewal dates. That way I always know I have the current one in the cars. We can show the app, but DH prefers to have the paper proof of insurance. 

that would be annoying

is a downloaded card on your phone acceptable in your state? it is in missouri

i download the new cards once a year when they renew

I am also able to print them out to keep in the car (but i like having them in the phone as well)

Shelter, Geico, and Progressive have all had these options

^^^ Dang, I knew USAA was some good coverage, but to actually send you new CARS every 6 months that you have your insurance with them??  No wonder so many people will stay with them for life!! (LOL!!  ) 

Darn auto correct.. Cards rather!

We've had Allstate for 17 years. I've always gotten my cards in the mail, but these days I just use the app and always have a current card to show that way. Those are accepted in my state.
